In "Civilization and Its Discontents," Freud extends and clarifies his analysis of religion, analyzes human unhappiness in contemporary civilization, ratifies the critical importance of the death drive theory, and contemplates the significance of guilt and conscience in everyday life. The result is Freud's most expansive work, 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.
