Freud in Rome

Freud saw each of his visits to Rome as a means of experimenting in his private life with his several selves and his personal relationships his sexual proclivities his private obsessions and his literary interests to such a point that he eventually came to see himself as a Roman and Rome as Freudian! One consequence of this is that anecdotes of his visits to Rome have in a sense adhered to the eternal city itself requiring a personal visit following what trails might remain of Freuds adventures there. To go there is to move closer to Henri Bergsons theme of the union of body and soul that within matter that pure perception places us and it is really into spirit that we penetrate by means of memory which for Bergson is the interpenetration of past and present. Or should I say an intuitive kind of feeling I get when I actually put myself in the same situation in the same place. Interpreted by Ken Evans a London based Sociologist-Philosopher
