The book examines Sigmund Freud's life and work, and sees tragedy
as a concept of central importance in both. Politzer shows how for
Freud the tragic experience - later formulated as the Oedipus
complex - was at the root of the development of human civilization.
In the light of this idea, he examines Freud's interpretation of
Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Michelangelo's statue Moses. He also
looks at the relationship with Jung in terms of the father-son
conflict. A final chapter, designated 'appendix' portrays the
younger generation of the 1970's 'flower-power' movement, as a
'post-Oedipal generation'. Politzer's book is also a celebration of
Sigmund Freud as a literary author in his own right.
