While many of Freud’s original formulations have required either
revision or rejection and replacement with newer models, his
cultural books, such as Civilization and Its Discontents and Totem
and Taboo, though extremely influential in the early part of the
20th century, have more recently been either neglected or else
dismissed as long-outdated fantasies. Robert A. Paul shows that
Freud's ideas in these books, and his thinking on how human society
is possible, given the unpromising materials out of which it is
constructed (i.e. human beings), can appear in a different and more
favorable light when viewed through the lens of contemporary
anthropology, cultural studies, and evolutionary theory.
