If we include “intellectual lineage” (Thomas Brown, 15 December) there are additions that should be made Christopher Green’s listing of Freud’s academic ancestry:
> Freud, well everyone must know the story, yes? > There were Bruecke, Charcot, Brentano, etc. I would suggest that we must add Herbart, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, whose ideas about unconscious processes had (with the exception of Charcot) considerably more influence on his eventual career than his immediate academic ancestry.
