Description
In his day, Otto Gross was a well known figure in bohemian circles in Munich, Berlin, Ascona and Vienna. He fused many of the intellec- tual trends of his time, the ideas of Freud and other psychoana- lysts, the work of Nietzsche, Stirner, Bachofen and Engels, into a revolutionary psychology. His theories had a strong impact on many writers, anarchists and psychoanalysts. This book analyzes Gross' theories and assesses the extent of his influence on such writers as Leonhard Frank, Franz Jung, Johannes R. Becher, Karl Otten, Walter Hasenclever, Oskar Maria Graf, Franz Kafka, Max Brod, Franz Werfel, Curt Corrinth, and the members of Berlin Dada.
