ABSTRACT
Dear friend, Your last letter gave me a lot to think about. You are asking me in what essential
way the conception of a HUMAN being was modified by Freud’s discovery of the unconscious.
I know that you do not expect a long, learned discourse, which I would be unable to deliver, but rather that I tell you what, in my opinion, has changed radically since Freud, in man’s relation to himself and to the world.
