This essay does two things. First, it gives an account of the development of Freud’s thought in human psychology from its beginnings in the studies of psychoneurosis he undertook jointly with Joseph Breuer to the mature theory of the human personality that Freud constructed in the last stages of his career. The main focus of the essay’s account of his thought in these last stages is on his theory of the acquisition in human beings of a conscience. Second, it explains the philosophical import of Freud’s theory of human personality by placing it within the tradition of naturalism in ethics and answers the objections of two critics of his account of conscience who side with Kant on the question of the nature of conscience.
