ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book pulls together the evidence for four main arguments that make up that type as evinced in their life and work: Christian Education, Reasons for Rejecting Christianity, Substitute Unifications, and Reactions to Patriarchal Society. The Christian education of five of the men aligns generally with Friedrich Nietzsche's experience. His humanizing philosophy of the overman was pitched to maximize human greatness, meaning, and authenticity, traits that he believed were especially imperiled by a dehumanizing Christian sexual morality. In Sigmund Freud's case studies Christianity had a more substantially documented pathogenic role, as it contributed unmistakably to neuroses in some of his clinical subjects, most prominently in Daniel Schreber and Sergei Pankejeff. Virginia Woolf challenged the dominant patriarchy of her time more than any of the men and so offers an additional aspect of existential unification and crucial component of the modernist ideal type.
