Freud may be most correctly viewed as an exponent of the reaction of this century against the 'bourgeois' hypocrisy of the Victorian era. His main thesis, the doctrine of repression of sexuality, is most clearly conditioned in this historical sense. He is a great destroyer who breaks the chains of the past. His attitude to cultural values is essentially negative and reductive; complex phenomena like art appear to him as 'nothing but' repressions. He offers no constructive plan; everything in him is orientated backwards, with a one-sided bias. His sexual theory is not an adequate foundation for general psychological theory. Freud has not penetrated into the deeper layer of what is common to all humanity!
