Examples
“Finally, with good reason⟳, this psychology aims to be a psychology of a purely empiriological type⟳. It is pervaded and overwhelmed on every side, however, by a pseudometaphysics of the most vulgar character, which Freud is all the less anxious to dispense iwth as he imagines he has no philosophy or metaphysics at all.
