Civilization and Its Discontents - 9780141182360

Description: Civilization and Its DiscontentsAuthor(s): Sigmund Freud, David McLintock Format: Paperback Language: English Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd, United Kingdom Imprint: Penguin Classics ISBN-13: 9780141182360, 978-0141182360 Synopsis In what remains one of his most seminal papers, Freud considers the incompatibility of civilisation and individual happiness, and the tensions between the claims of society and the individual. We all know that living in civilised groups means sacrificing a degree of personal interest, but couldn't you argue that it in fact creates the conditions for our happiness? Freud explores the arguments and counter-arguments surrounding this proposition, focusing on what he perceives to be one of society's greatest dangers; 'civilised' sexual morality. After all, doesn't repression of sexuality deeply affect people and compromise their chances of happiness?
