 e\n🗓 Monday\, 10 November 2025\n🕕 5:30 PM\n📍 Alliance Française 
 du Cap – 155 Loop Street\, Cape Town\nA Dialogue Between Patrick Weil an
 d Mark Solms\nJoin us for a fascinating evening of history\, psychology\,
  and politics as Patrick Weil\, French historian and political scientist
 \, engages in discussion with Mark Solms\, South African neuropsychologis
 t and renowned Freud scholar.\nIn 2014\, Patrick Weil made a remarkable di
 scovery in the archives of Yale University a forgotten manuscript written 
 by Sigmund Freud and William C. Bullitt\, a U.S. diplomat\, between 193
 0 and 1932. The text is an extraordinary psychobiography of President Woo
 drow Wilson\, whose mental stability Bullitt questioned following Wilson
 ’s controversial handling of the Treaty of Versailles.\nDrawing on Mark
  Solms’ pioneering work on Freud\, Patrick Weil revisits this manuscript
  to offer a bold reassessment of Wilson’s legacy\, exploring his role\,
  alongside South African statesman Jan Smuts in both the creation and th
 e unraveling of world peace after the First World War.\nThis discussion pr
 omises to shed new light on the psychological and political forces that 
 shaped the 20th century and to reveal the deep historical connections bet
 ween South Africa and the United States\n📚 Seize this unique opportuni
 ty to discover the hidden intersections of psychoanalysis\, diplomacy\, a
 nd world history through the lens of two distinguished thinkers.\n\n\n\n\n
