Description
Civilization and Its Discontents by Sigmund Freud explores the complex relationship between individual happiness and societal expectations. In this seminal paper, Freud examines the tension between personal interests and the demands of civilization, with a particular focus on the impact of repressed sexuality.
Freud argues that the repression of sexual desires can have far-reaching consequences for an individual's well-being, compromising their chances of happiness. This thought-provoking work challenges readers to consider the trade-offs between personal freedom and social conformity.
Published in 2013, this edition features a concise 92-page paperback format, making it an accessible introduction to Freud's influential ideas on human psychology and development.
