第35章 The Ideological Giants 思想巨人(15)

由于对弗洛伊德的许多学说仍有很大争议,因此很难估计出他在历史上的地位。他有创立新学说的杰出天赋,是一位先驱者和带路人。但是弗洛伊德的学说与达尔文和巴斯德的不同,从未赢得过科学界的普遍承认,所以很难说出他的学说中有百分之几最终会被认为是正确的。尽管对弗洛伊德的学说一直存在着争论,他仍不愧为是人类思想史上的一位极其伟大的人物。他的心理学观点使人们对人类思想的观念发生了彻底的革命,他提出的概念和术语已被普遍使用──例如,本我(Id),自我(Ego),超我(Super-Ego),恋母情绪(Oedipus complex)和死亡冲动(Death Drive或Death Instinct)。大多数心理学家现在已经确信无意识思维过程对人的行为起着一种决定性的作用──一种在弗洛伊德之前被大大低估了的作用。弗洛伊德不是心理学的鼻祖。从长远的观点来看,人们也许会认为他作为心理学家所提出的学说并非十分正确,但是他显然是在现代心理学发展中最有影响、最重要的人物。
