Abstract

The article discusses new research on Sigmund Freud's relationship with Judaism and psychoanalysis, particularly focusing on his work "Moses and Monotheism." It highlights Anna Freud's remarks on the perception of psychoanalysis as a Jewish science and critiques by historian Élisabeth Roudinesco regarding the appropriation of Freud's ideas. The research examines Freud's complex identity as a Jew and his interactions with colleagues that shaped his views on religion and antisemitism. It concludes that Freud's exploration of Moses reflects a deep personal and familial influence, particularly from his father, Jakob Freud. [Extracted from the article]
