Oh, now I know

In a previous entry I mumbled that after reading Foucault, the world does not feel the same any more. I remember the same feeling after reading Freud's Totem and Taboo (actually the only book I've read by him this far). Is there a connection? Yes. Louis Althusser, Foucault's mentor, who in "Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses" wrote about sciences establishing their own method and object. He specifically mentions Freud.
