Timeline: Marx, Nietzsche and Freud

Updated Tuesday, 4 April 2017
Explore the lives and works of Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud with our interactive timeline.

This page was published over 7 years ago. Please be aware that due to the passage of time, the information provided on this page may be out of date or otherwise inaccurate, and any views or opinions expressed may no longer be relevant. Some technical elements such as audio-visual and interactive media may no longer work. For more detail, see how we deal with older content.

How do I use this timeline?

The easiest way to journey through the lives of Marx, Nietzsche and Freud is to click the arrow on the right hand side (or swipe right on a tablet), which will take you through all the entries.

You can also investigate just Marx, Nietzsche or Freud by selecting the 'Open filters' button on the top right hand side. This will allow you to filter content and only see one individual thinker's entries.

You can also drag and explore via the grey timeline section at the bottom, although this is in beta at the moment and may have a few hiccups!
