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.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/1731ae0d/civilization-and-its-discontents-sigmund-freud-9781554811403.jpg|9781554811403|Civilization and Its Discontents : Paperback : Broadview Press Ltd : 9781554811403 : 30 Dec 2015 : This is a new translation of Freud's most popular work, his psychoanalysis of Kultur--a German word that simultaneously means culture, society, and civi ...|new|1|1|6|13.95|0|GBP|Sigmund Freud|Broadview Press Ltd|30 Dec 2015|Psychoanalytical theory (Freudian psychology) 9781554811311|The Broadview Anthology of British Literature|43.94|https://wordery.com/the-broadview-anthology-of-british-literature-jerome-j-mcgann-9781554811311|Intended for courses that focus on poetry during the Romantic period, this volume includes all the poetry selections from Volume 4 of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, along with a number of works newly edited for this volume.
