Description
Freud's seminal paper explores the tension between individual happiness and the demands of civilised society. He examines the arguments for and against the idea that living in a civilised group necessarily leads to personal sacrifice, and considers one of society's greatest dangers: the repression of sexuality.
Freud argues that the repression of sexuality can have a profound impact on individuals, compromising their chances of happiness. This thought-provoking paper is a key work in the field of psychoanalysis, offering insights into the human psyche and the complexities of human relationships.
First published in 1930, this edition features the original text and is a valuable addition to any collection of philosophical and psychological literature.
