This chapter discusses Schopenhauer’s influence on Freud and shows that it resulted in a very distinct semantic and linguistic imprint in Freud’s writings. Initially, the most relevant secondary works are presented and the intellectual atmosphere of Freud’s formative years is sketched, in order to determine the historical role of Schopenhauer’s philosophy for Freud and his peers and mentors. This first part also provides an appreciation of Schopenhauer’s approach to mental illness. Then acknowledged and unacknowledged references to Schopenhauer in Freud’s writings will be discussed in three case studies. |
