CIVILIZATION AND IT’S DISCONTETNS by Sigmund Freud

 300

Local Paperback Edition

DESCRIPTION

Civilization and Its Discontents by Sigmund Freud is a seminal work in twentieth-century psychology and cultural thought, grounded in psychoanalytic theory. This edition includes a new introduction by Christopher Hitchens, offering fresh insights into Freud’s profound exploration of human society.

Written in the decade before Freud’s death, Civilization and Its Discontents may be Sigmund Freud‘s most famous and brilliant work. Originally published in 1930, it has been widely praised, dissected, lambasted, interpreted, and reinterpreted. This iconic work seeks to answer several fundamental questions about human civilization: What influences led to the creation of civilization? How did it come to be, and what determines its trajectory? Freud’s theories on the effect of the knowledge of death on human existence, as well as the birth of art, are central to his ideas.

Civilization and Its Discontents remains one of Sigmund Freud‘s key works, and this edition, which includes the Norton Standard Edition’s authorized translation under James Strachey’s editorship, offers an in-depth look into Freud’s psychological exploration of society. In addition to Hitchens’ introduction, this new version features Peter Gay’s classic biographical note on Freud, enriching the reader’s understanding of the work.
