This paper critically examines the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy on Sigmund Freud’s “Totem and Taboo.” Freud’s work presents a controversial theory explaining the origins of human civilization through patricide and cannibalism. The study closely investigates the philosophical and psychoanalytical connections between Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals and Freud’s “Totem and Taboo,” highlighting methodological and thematic similarities between the two thinkers. It argues that Nietzsche’s genealogical method and critique of moral origins provided a crucial framework for Freud’s ambitious theorization of civilization’s psychological foundations. The paper also analyzes Freud’s ambivalent attitude towards Nietzsche’s influence, offering new insights into the relationship between philosophy and psychoanalysis in the early 20th century and illuminates the ongoing impact of both thinkers’ ideas in psychological and philosophical discourse.
