Freud challenged the Enlightenment’s view of the mind as a rational, orderly space by revealing the chaotic, unconscious forces that influence behavior. His work highlighted that the psyche contains hidden depths, where wild energies and fears reside, thus overturning the notion that human experience can be fully understood through logical analysis. Freud's acknowledgment that "we are not the masters of our own house" emphasizes the limitations of rational thought, which paved the way for post-Freudian psychology to explore the complexities of the human mind beyond mere reason.
Freud's analytical methods invited exploration beyond rational constructs, revealing that the mind is influenced by unconscious drives and chaotic, irrational forces, marking a departure from Enlightenment's rationalism.
He viewed the psyche not as a clear chamber of reason but as a complex underworld, challenging the belief that the depths of human experience could be entirely understood or controlled.
