In this essay the author seeks to answer some of the criticisms of Freud's central concepts, theories, and methods that have been raised by twentieth century philosophy. He argues that many of these concepts and theories, particularly the concept of the unconscious, represent indispensable assumptions shared by the human sciences, even when they are not directly addressed by them. Further, he argues that in Freud's ideas we find one of the most advanced positions in our understanding of culture, its illusions and discontents, and a profound attempt to bridge the distance between a description of social reality and its critical appraisal.
在本文中，作者试图回应20世纪哲学界对弗洛伊德的核心概念、理论和方法提出的一些批评。他认为，这些概念和理论中的许多，尤其是无意识概念，代表了人文科学共有的不可或缺的假设，即使人文科学并未直接论及这些假设。此外，他认为，在弗洛伊德的思想中，我们能看到在理解文化、文化幻想与不满方面最为前沿的立场之一，以及为弥合社会现实描述与批判性评价之间的差距所做的深刻尝试。
