Nietzsche und die Tiefenpsychologie ed. by Roman Lesmeister and Elke Metzner (review)

Nietzsche und die Tiefenpsychologie ed. by Roman Lesmeister and Elke Metzner (review) Book Reviews Roman Lesmeister and Elke Metzner, eds., Nietzsche und die Tiefenpsychologie. Freiburg: Verlag Karl Alber, 2010. 184 pp. ISBN: 978-3-495-48439-5. Paper, €32. Nietzsche calls himself a “psychologist [Psychologe]” in a few passages of his published works (GM III:19; TI P; A 45; EH “Books” 5). Furthermore—and mainly due to his intense interest in the scientific debates of his time, which involved figures such as Hartmann, Schopenhauer, Gerber, Helmholtz, and Zöllner—Nietzsche’s early philosophical thought can be regarded as clearly “perme- ated” by his concern with the unconscious (Martin Liebscher, “Friedrich Nietzsche’s Perspectives on the Unconscious,” in Thinking the Unconscious. Nineteenth-Century German Thought, ed. A. Nicholls and M. Liebscher [Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010], 241–60). The com- bination of psychology and this concern with the unconscious makes it plausible to regard him as a forerunner, if not strictly a founder, of depth psychology. As one of the editors points out in the preface, Nietzsche und die Tiefenpsychologie aims to highlight this vicinity and to open a “dialogue” between Nietzsche and depth psychology scholars and even between the disciplines of philosophy and psychology more broadly (18; translations are my own throughout).

Abstract

Book Reviews Roman Lesmeister and Elke Metzner, eds., Nietzsche und die Tiefenpsychologie. Freiburg: Verlag Karl Alber, 2010. 184 pp. ISBN: 978-3-495-48439-5. Paper, €32.
