In Civilization and Its Discontents Freud extends and clarifies his
analysis of religion; analyzes human unhappiness in contemporary
civilization; ratifies the critical importance of the death drive
theory; and contemplates the significance of guilt and conscience
in everyday life. The result is Freud's most expansive work, one
wherein he discusses mysticism, love, interpretation, narcissism,
religion, happiness, technology, beauty, justice, work, the origin
of civilization, phylogenetic development, Christianity, the Devil,
communism, the sense of guilt, remorse, and ethics. A classic,
important, accessible work, Freud reminds us again why we still
read and debate his ideas today. Todd Dufresne's introduction
expands on why, according to the late Freud, psychoanalysis is the
key to understanding individual and collective realities or, better
yet, collective truths. The Appendices include related writings by
Freud, contemporary reviews, and scholarly responses from Marcuse,
Rieff, and Ricoeur.
