Philosophers

I remember reading that the main influences on Freud were Goethe, Schiller and Brentano.
USQ library has a collection on Schiller so will have to review those.

Humer, W. (2010) Franz Brentano. Retrieved 9th April, 2010 from http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/brentano/

Here is an interesting work- although Catholic, he left the priesthood. He worked at the University of Vienna when Freud was there. He left disenchanted as the law in Austria did not allow him to marry as an ex-priest. His work is about science and, psychology and phenomenology. He worked on the aspects of mind- intentionality and inner mind of mental illness. He also wrote on time in mind- must find a copy.
He talked about the timelessness of inner mind, the only reality is the present and the present remembers the past within its own context- ie there is no past.
Reading Goethe is always a pleasure.
