Freud claimed he was a Kantian Psychologist. He must have believed therefore that his “Interpretations” were not born of unconscious fantasy but were rather judgments of the understanding and reason related to the energy regulation principle, the pleasure pain principle, and the reality principle. I take up this theme in volume two of “A Philosophical History of Psychology, Cognition, Emotion, Consciousness, and Action”, to be published in May.
