Sigmund Freud on Explanation - Dictionary of Arguments

Chalmers I 13
Explanation/Freud/Chalmers: although Freud did not make it explicit, it seems that he tried to explain the notions of desire and belief causally.
>Causality
, >Desire, >Beliefs.

Accessibility/Freud/Chalmers: Explicitly, he recognized that accessibility to consciousness is not essential to a stat’s relevance in the explanation of behaviour. That conclusion relies on a notion of mentality that is independent of phenomenal notions.
>Consciousness, >Behavior.
Consciousness/Freud/Chalmers: a new ”objective” brand of psychological explanation was developed, with no room for consciousness in its explanations.
>Unconscious, >Objectivity, >Understanding.
