| contents | Sigmund Freud’s Experience with the Classics FABIO STOK Lengua y Literatura Rome Freud Vergil catharsis Aristotle Classical culture played an important role in the work of Sigmund Freud and influenced the formation of psychoanalysis. This influence concerned several aspects of Freud’s experience: the personal one, from his adolescent identification with ancient heroes to his emotional bond with Rome and Athens; the intellectual, including his use of authors such as Aristotle and Artemidorus the elaboration of psychoanalytical theory; rhetorical and expositive in his use of classical authors such as Sophocles and Vergil, and in his strategy of identifying thinkers such as Plato and Empedocles as forerunners of his theories. The present article reconstructs the evolu- tion of this strategy, which began in 1900, in conjunction with the definition of the basic concepts of psychoanalysis. Some specific episodes of Freud’s approach to the classics are also examined: his reception of Aristotle’s concept of catharsis, and of the interpretation of this concept given by Bernays; Freud’s interest in Vergil, highlighted by his use of verses from the Aeneid in his works; his conflictual relationship with Rome; the use of Empedocles as a predecessor of the changes that Freud made, in his last years, to the theory of pulsions. 2011 artículo científico 0103-4316 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=601770892005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6017 Classica - Revista Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos Classica - Revista Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos (Brasil) Num.1-2 Vol.24 |
