Describes the psychological factors that brought Friedrich Nietzsche into the depths of his own nature through a process in which sacrifice, loss and loneliness alternated with hero worship and "audacious self-glorification". This book explores a number of human problems and discusses in relation to the biography of this philosopher.
Jungian psychologist Liliane Frey-Rohn describes the psychological factors that brought Nietzsche into the depths of his own nature through a process in which sacrifice, loss and intense loneliness alternated with hero worship and "audacious self-glorification". In this book, a number of human problems are explored and discussed in relation to the brilliant but haunted biography of the 19th century philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. The problem of good and evil, the search for personal truth, the questions of nihilism and lifes meaning, and the dangers of self-inflation in the wake of religious experience are each considered in this in-depth psychological analysis. The author sheds new light on Nietzsches extraordinary life and work, illuminating many aspects of his personal spiritual struggle, while providing insights into some of the most basic and problematic questions that confront us all.
Liliane Frey-Rohn, one of C. G Jung's closest collaborators, received her Ph.D. from the University of Zurich and opened her analytical practice in that same city more than fifty years ago. Her pioneer work, From Freud to Jung, is used as a basic text by analysts-in-training around the world. Today, at age 86, Dr. Frey maintains an analytical practice in Zurich while continuing her active role as a major contributor to current theory and a trainer of new analysts.
