Description

Freud�s Theory of Dreams: A Philosophico-Scientific Perspective evaluates Freud�s theory of dreams in light of the many philosophical and scientific criticisms that have been brought against it. Michael T. Michael addresses the validity of Freud�s method of dream interpretation, the scientific nature of the theory, and how Freud�s ideas bear up to modern research on dreams, engaging on the way with critics such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Clark Glymour, Karl Popper, Adolf Gr�nbaum, and J. Allan Hobson. Michael reaches beyond the traditional �for� and �against� polarity to offer a more balanced perspective on Freud�s theory. He argues that reports of the demise of Freud�s theory have been greatly exaggerated, and instead the theory is a live hypothesis fully deserving of continued scientific exploration.Typham this is the title: Freud�s Theory of Dreams A Philosophico-Scientific Perspective
