Seit der im letzten Jahr erfolgten Publikation der Erstfassung von Freuds Moses-Studie aus dem Jahr 1934 gibt es die Möglichkeit, die Entstehung des Moses-Werks bis zur Endfassung zu rekonstruieren und beide Fassungen miteinander zu vergleichen. Dieser Aufsatz möchte dazu einen Beitrag leisten. Die Rekonstruktionsarbeiten und Deutungen von Ilse Grubrich-Simitis und Michel Fagard/Thomas Gindele werden kritisch betrachtet.

Since the publication last year of the first version of Freud's Moses and Monotheism written in 1934, it is possible to reconstruct the genesis of the book as it was published in 1939, und to compare the two versions. The present article aims to contribute to this. It first presents a critical discussion of the reconstructions provided by Grubrich-Simitis and Fagard/Gindele. Then the hypothesis is elaborated that in the Moses project one can detect a shift from character study to case study, i. e., a development towards a study dominated by the question of traumatic experiences for the formation of a people and their religion, and by theoretical reflections about the interaction between constitutional and accidental factors in the aetiology of pathological formations.
