Both Freud and Einstein knew that to further
the practical use of the thought process it was
necessary to move away from
a preoccupation with metaphysics. Freud
chose psychology (after briefly consisdering neurology
and other branches of medicine.( Einstein chose cosmological
physics but later moved towards the philosophy
of science, not in direct terms , but struggled
with the wider implications of his theory ( the
macrocosm in relation to the microcosm)
But early one in their
theoretical development both yielded
results in the morphological implication
in all the uses of language: Freud in
dreams, wiritng and speech, in the memory function
and the relationship of language to gesture (this,
of course, has always been in the
domain of drama, until this point in history).
