Click Here for Flyer for: Philosopher as Analyst/Analyst as Philosopher
“Philosopher as Analyst/Analyst as Philosopher” is being held in NYC at NPAP on Saturday Jan. 21st from 4pm to 8pm.
The Greek philosophers considered the art of their practice to produce a virile and preventive healing. Nietzsche sought to bring this “great health” back into the culture by means of the artist-philosopher who knows himself. In this sense he prefigured Freud’s psycho-analysis as method. At next Saturday’s symposium, each invited speaker will talk of a specific philosopher whose wisdom had transformed him/herself and is therefore able to transform others. For those psychoanalysts participating, we will describe how a particular philosopher or philosophy has influenced our practice and how they might continue to impact the broader field as well. And of course the audience will be invited to the round table for open dialogue and drink,
