Great Regulars: [Sigmund] Freud's death is central

to this book because it was, in Edmundson's terms, the death of a prophet, an exemplary death like that of Socrates. The combination of Freud's courage in the face of his pain and his insistence to the end on the universal validity of his vision of the ethical man represents one of the great, prophetic images of our time.
