So why so many Civil War figures?
From recent history:Marx, Freud, Einstein, perhaps Gandhi
So how have Marx and Freud influenced you? I agree they have been influential to society in general, but how do they relate to you personally?
PhidThe Civil War period is my main interest. It was the defining period that made the country what it is today. The government changed from a loose Federation of individual self governing states to the centralized all powerful goverment we have today.
So how have Marx and Freud influenced you? I agree they have been influential to society in general, but how do they relate to you personally?
Personally? Hmm, their work has influenced my attitudes profoundly, Marx the least, more Einstein with his theory of relativity, atheism, anti-militarism and as a humanist. Freud as the founding father of psychology and psychotherapy, which led me from a keen interest to taking up courses to study, though I have not taken a career in this field.
