Full Description [July 18, 2011, 3:23 p.m.]
Here's the background material for the content of this class. Obviously we won't be covering anything like all of this, but you know, it's good to know your roots. This is a list of the major thinkers we will be looking at, the thinkers or works that they were influenced by, their own major works, and the works of Freud that are especially important in their work. It's a bibliography, kind of. Good luck!
Reading Lists: Wittgenstein, Freud, Derrida, Lacan, Deleuze & Guitarri
Wittgenstein read Schopenhaur and hung out with Russel and Whitehead. His Two Works are short, if one gets madness one can read his ephemera. Apparently somewhat interested in psychoanalysis, at least on the conceptual level. Fascinating.
Freud: Greek Tragedies, Bible, Darwin, Schelling, Goethe, Empedocles, Shakespere, DaVinci, Charcot for hypnotism.
Derrida: Freud’s everything, Hegel’s everything, Heidegger’s everything, Husserl’s everything, Rousseau’s Confessions, Levi-Strauss’ several works, Levinas, Plato, Artaud, etc. (Freud’s mystic writing tablet, Husserl’s meditations, heidegger’s what is metaphysics?, Self-Consciousness from Hegel (desire!), need to check L-S) [first part of grammatology, writing and difference, dissemination]
Lacan: Derrida + a good introduction to set theory / topology, Poe, Joyce, the Surrealist Circle, Mearleu-Ponty, Sausseur.
(Analysis Term & Interm + the three works on technique, Dreams, Everyday and Wit... Wolf Man) [my teaching, television, ecrits, four fundamental.. etc]
Deleuze: Lacan + Hume, Nietzsche, Spinoza, Liebniz, Bergson, Kant, Foucault, introduction to calculus, Mallarme, Proust, Francis Bacon (Painter), [the portraits of philosophers = the list of thinkers above, dif & rep, logic of sense, dialogues, etc]
