LyfeGlass | The Unconscious Mind - Freud's Narcissistic Denial of Nietzsche @lyfeglass | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
While the unconscious mind is often associated with the work of Sigmund Freud, he may have denied philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche the deserving recognition when he published his ideas on the unconscious as he famously claimed to not have read the works of Nietzsche until very late in his life. In this video, we will compare Freud’s and Nietzsche’s writing on the unconscious mind in regard to three important themes and reveal striking similarities.
By further drawing upon the nine diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder, we will examine to what extent Freud might have had narcissistic tendencies and how those could explain his alleged lie.
We may eventually uncover a cowardly injustice driven by selfish interests in a ruthless quest for success and fame.
All sources and further reading suggestions are mentioned at the end of the video.
Thank you for watching and I look forward to your thoughts in the comment section.
