The theories which we form and the use to which they are put, are certainly distinct enterprises. Therefore, theorizing or even the discovery of facts cannot in itself be dangerous, though their use could. So I have to ask again, why is theorizing dangerous? Having read the Excerpts from Freud, I wonder whether Freud read Darwin's Descent of Man or Durkheim's Elementary Forms. Vunch
