| Extra Info | : | A two-day online course by Keith Barrett Freud famously said that Nietzsche possessed such powerful psychological insight that he avoided reading him in order not to be unduly influenced. Rather than their being a relationship of direct influence, however, Freud’s psychological work and Nietzsche’s philosophy flow from a common root – in the thought of Arthur Schopenhauer. We will explore the different pathways that lead from Schopenhauer to Nietzsche’s mature thinking, on the one hand, and from Schopenhauer to Freud’s fundamental psychological concepts, on the other. The course will then explore in depth the relationship between Nietzsche’s thought and psychoanalysis, reading ‘The Birth of Tragedy’, alongside ’Beyond the Pleasure Principle, and ‘On the Genealogy of Morals’ alongside ‘Civilization and its Discontents’. Carl Jung was heavily influenced by Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, and we will examine his interpretation of ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’. |
