이드 - The Id (Das Es) 용어의 유래

 

The term 'das Es'(There was to begin with a good deal of discussion over the choice of an English equivalent. 'The  id' was eventually decided upon in preference to 'the it', so as to be parallel with the long-established 'ego'.), as

Freud himself explains below (p. 23), was derived in the first instance from Georg Groddeck, a physician practising at Baden-Baden, who had recently become attached to psycho-analysis and with whose wide-ranging ideas Freud felt

much sympathy. Groddeck seems in turn to have derived  'das Es' from his own teacher, Ernst Schweninger, a well-

known German physician of an earlier generation. But as Freud also points out, the use of the word certainly goes

back to Nietzsche. In any case, the term was adapted by Freud to a differnet and more precise meaning than

Groddeck's. It cleared up and in part replaced the ill-defined uses of the earlier terms 'the unconscious', 'the Ucs.'

and 'the systematic unconscious'.
