ABSTRACT

WITTGENSTEIN’S remarks on Freud do not form part of one continuous exposition. Most of them were not intended for publication. Some are sketchy to the point of incomprehensibility, others are apparently, and perhaps even ultimately, inconsistent. Nevertheless, they seem to me to offer a more illuminating characterization of Freud than any other and one of the few which can be confronted with its subject without producing acute feelings of incongruity.
