Aby Warburg was the scion of a prominent Hamburg banking house who became a distinguished European cultural and art historian. He researched the vestiges of pagan antiquity in Renaissance and Reformation art, explored the secret rituals of the Hopis in Arizona, and acutely perceived the savage anti-Semitism in German and European culture. He developed a paranoid psychosis, and was treated by Freud and Bleuler's pupil Ludwig Binswanger in his Kreuzlingen sanatorium, where we can see his existential and relational treatment at work. Warburg was released after he could present a coherent account of the Hopi ‘serpent ritual’ in a public lecture. The brutal pagan underside of European culture was not only in the high cultural artefacts he studied; it was also inside Warburg. This paper explores the interweaving of inner life with creative work and the relationships between Warburg, Binswanger and Freud.

Aby Warburg，霍皮族蛇仪式和路德维希·宾斯旺格

阿比·沃伯格（Aby Warburg）是汉堡一家著名银行的接班人，他后来成为一位杰出的欧洲文化和艺术史学家。他研究了文艺复兴时期和改革派艺术中异教徒上古的遗迹，探索了亚利桑那州霍皮斯的秘密仪式，并敏锐地感知了德国和欧洲文化中的野蛮反犹太主义。他患有偏执型精神病，在弗洛伊德和布鲁勒的学生路德维希·宾斯旺格（Ludwig Binswanger）在他的克罗伊茨林根疗养院接受治疗，在那里我们可以看到他的存在和关系治疗。沃堡（Warburg）在公开演讲中对霍皮族（蛇）的“蛇仪式”进行了连贯叙述后被释放。欧洲文化残酷的异教徒背后不仅在于他所研究的高文化手工艺品；而且 它也在沃堡里面。
