Les Temps modernes
Roudinesco states that "Freud and Philosophy" received a negative review in "Les Temps modernes" from Michel Tort, who argued that the book was obscurantist and reactionary, that Ricœur's Christian and phenomenological approach to understanding Freud's texts was unhelpful and obsolete, and that Lacan's approach to psychoanalysis was superior to that of Ricœur. Vinicio Busacchi wrote that Tort's discussion of "Freud and Philosophy" was "fallacious and calumnious" and that the accusation of plagiarism against Ricœur was false.
