                                         Nietzsche and Psychoanalysis

 

Nietzsche and  Psychoanalysis  presents a reading of the Nietzschean thought of the eternal return of all things alongside Freud's psychoanalysis of the repetition compulsion. Nietzsche's eternal return and Freud's repetition compulsion have never before been so seriously compared. The manner in which this study is executed differs drastically from  usual Nietzsche scholarship and Freud studies. The author works with his material until it reaches archetypal  levels of significance, even while the level of everyday life is never abandoned. He returns the theory and practice of psychologizing and philosophizing to the primary ground of imaginative poetic and ultimately mythic thought.
