I was recently reading something by the intellectual historian Carl
Schorske, in which he said that Sigmund Freud translated J.S. Mill's
'The Subjection of Women' into German as part of the complete German
edition of Mill's works. (The project's editor was Freud's old teacher,
the Austrian philosopher-psychologist Franz Brentano.)
Has anyone -- including Freud himself -- ever made anything about this
early exposure to Mill, especially given the directions that Freud's
views on women took over his career?
Is this Freud-Mill connection generally known, or are others as
surprised as I am?!
