Description
Sigmund Freud's collected works offer a comprehensive understanding of his ideas as scientist, humanist, physician, and philosopher. Spanning various fields including psychology, art, literature, religion, politics, and culture, these writings provide insight into the development of psychoanalysis. The fifty-one texts in this volume range from essays on sexuality to late writings such as Civilization and Its Discontents. Peter Gay has carefully curated these selections to present a full portrait of Freud's thought, with clear introductions to guide the reader through each work. Many of the selections are reproduced in full, drawn from the Standard Edition, which was approved by Freud himself for editorial plan and specific renderings. This single-volume work provides a unique opportunity to explore Freud's vast output and understand the enduring impact of his ideas on twentieth-century life.
