Scientifi c thinking in Freud ’ s day followed the rules of positivism ,

an approach that limits knowledge to things which are directly

observable. This goes hand in hand with the mechanistic and

deterministic approaches that were so popular at the time – you

describe the facts of what you can experience and observe.

Anything else is not science. Positivists try to make general

scientifi c laws about the ways in which phenomena are related.

This approach began in the natural sciences and spread into

philosophy.
