Friedrich Nietzsche possessed such powerful psychological insight that Freud famously said that he avoided reading him in order not to be unduly influenced. This course will explore in depth the relationship between Nietzsche’s thought and psychoanalysis, examining a wide selection of his works, including ‘The Birth of Tragedy’, ‘The Gay Science’, ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’, ‘Beyond Good and Evil’, ‘On the Genealogy of Morals’ and ‘The Anti-Christ’.

Speaker:
Keith Barrett BA PhD received his first degree in philosophy from Oxford University after having spent three years working as a nursing assistant in psychiatric hospitals. It was in this practical context that Keith first encountered existentialism and psychoanalysis. He then began postgraduate studies on both Freud and Heidegger, leading finally to a PhD from the Wellcome Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL for a dissertation on ‘Freud’s Self-Analysis’. Keith has been a philosophy teacher for over 20 years, and has been delivering courses at the Freud Museum for over a decade, where he has developed a series of introductory lectures on Freud, psychoanalysis after Freud, and the overlap of philosophy and psychoanalysis.
