An Extra Opportunity: Sigmund Freud

In our discussion of Wigglesworth and his Day of Doom, we talked about his loss of the father and Freud's connection between religion and the power of the father and the absence of the father. If you're interested, one of Freud's most famous lectures on this topic is called "The Question of a Weltanschauung." I'm going to email you a PDF of this text--it's not long and quite readable. Next Wednesday after class, anyone who'd like to discuss it can walk over to the cafeteria for a late lunch and Freud.

This is not at all required. It is simply an opportunity to read some theoretical material and talk about it informally if you like. So, watch your email inbox for the text coming soon.
