He Mapped the Mind
CNLY 70 years after the last woman was burnt in Europe for witchcraft Sigmund Freud was born, on May 6, 1856, The primitive elements in human nature which -he did so much to reveal were just as uncontrolled when he died in London in 1939, aged 83, Freud’s achievement in that time had been to discover, to explore and to open up a new continent in the human mind-the territory of the Unconscious. He altered man’s knowledge of his mind just as drastically as Columbus altered the map of the world. This achievement, says Dr, Harold Bourne, of Otago University, must be imperishable, even though, as science advances, his pioneering charts inevitably are replaced by the detailed sag: be of those who follow later. In a series of centenary talks on Freud, being heard from 2YC on Thursdays and later to be broadcast from other YC stations (they have already been heard from 4YC), Dr. Bourne discusses Freud’s life and discoveries and indicates the significance of his work for us.
