Great post! I love the Wittgenstein quote. I just turned in my ms for my book on language games and psychoanalysis. Wittgenstein recognized Freud’s genius, but took issue with the metapsychology so eloquently critiqued here. At one point Wittgenstein remarked to a colleague that one of Freud’s interpretations “ruined such a beautiful dream.” Thanks for posting. (And by the way, Freud makes a very interesting association between language and the unconscious in “Ego and Id.”)
