Freud was recognized as brilliant by some of his teachers. One could argue that if he were a practicing neuropsychologist today , he might discover the cause and cure for Alzheimer's disease; that is, whatever discovery was imminent, Freud would discover it. This would be an argument for which of the following theories? naturalistic historiography identity-politics personalistic

Answer 1

This argument aligns with the **personalistic theory**. The personalistic theory, sometimes called the "great man" theory, emphasizes the impact of individual personalities and talents on historical development. The argument presented suggests that Freud's inherent brilliance would inevitably lead him to major discoveries, regardless of the specific historical context. It focuses on the individual's traits (Freud's brilliance) as the driving force of progress.
