Freud is a philosopher,
the first of a new race.
Since the word race in nowadays unpolitically correct,
I'll use the same word Freud did,
the word Stamm, a new stump, a new generation.
Moreover, I take this word out of a quote from Freud,
who used to say that he would have liked to be the first of a new generation.
I got to the concept of Freud philosopher through a precedent.
The precedent lies within the very first sentence of Jean-Jaques Lacan,
that immediately conquered me, and put me in the direction of my work,
and of my thinking. I am talking about the the period between July and August 1967.
Freud managed to frame psychology within the field of moral
(I translate it into the word circle, "dans le circle de la moral").
It's huge! All of psychology of the twentieth century, still today,
as it is introduced during the first year of psychology by the General Psychology professor,
immediately presented by saying "Scientific Psychology was born from
the separation of philosophic psychology from scientific psychology" and so on.
The real revolution made by Freud consists in the fact
that he even brings psychology into the field, firstly, of moral.
This distinction between, as I said before,
between psychology as thought and scientific psychology,
and keeps on matching very well the ancient roman distinction
"divide et impera" (I'll split you apart, so that I will rule).
In the end, it is a governmental doctrine made by a bad government.
But this was just the second last step to get to Freud philosopher,
that is, practising everyone's thought, starting with the child.
The child's thought is not childish,
it is instead the adult the one who makes it childish,
starting from in own childishness.
And the adult's childishness lies all within this, within having a bad idea
of childhood or in thinking that chilhood is, formally speaking,
somehow inferior within its own acts of thinking.
There are more the one of Freud's properly philosophic acts.
The one I learned first is the one he performed
while examining one of the most relevant partitions of the philosophic,
of the unquestioned philosopher, whose name is Immanuel Kant.
How he got there so istantly,
is miracle of thought.
He immediately found out that Kant's moral law
or categorical imperative was, after all,
just another way of re-calling what he had already called super-ego.
That was a philosophical act from Freud as much as it could have been!
He made a philosophical act, no more nor less than the one made by Immanuel Kant.
The second philosophical act from Freud
was made concerning the one considered the modern amongst the modern ones, Descartes.
Descartes made this truly act,
truly new in the history of thought,
a modern act by saying "I think",
that no one had never said before,
unless you trivialize everything,
but no one had ever said it before, but right away,
Descartes made the "think" drop inside of it, within,
in the introspection, letting the extension only belong
to the external reality, starting from the sensitive one.
Freud said that thought, another philosophical non-Cartesian act,
corrective to Descartes, but obviously at the same level of the Cartesian act,
he said that thought is extensive, no more no less than external reality.
