Talk:Thanatos (Freud)

The Freudian concept of Eros isn't included with the mythological discussion- why should this one be?

Freud never formally referred to the death instinct by the name Thanatos, except for in casual conversation. Stekel referred to thanatos to signify a "death-wish" but it was Federn who used "thanatos" to designate the death instinct/drive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.143.171 (talk • contribs)

Don't Listen to Freud
If you're gonna listen to Freud then you might as well go and shag your mother. Nobody cares what Freud has to say, he was a proper weirdo, don't let him taint your mind. Plebmonk 00:25, 2 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, this is an encyclopedia, and we are obliged to cover such material. His ideas are dated, but are still of historical importance. --DanielCD 01:18, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

'Proper Wierdo'? A very juvenile thing to say. You don't agree with freud, fine, but is there any reason for pre-school style name calling? SynthesiseD 05:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Lots of people care what Freud has to say, actually. Substantial amounts of his work are still relevent.

Merging?
Shouldn't this article be merged with the article on the death instinct as they are the same thing?

I see no reason for them to be separated.
