Publisher Notes

During the summer of 1929, Freud worked on what became this seminal volume of twentieth-century thought. It stands as a brilliant summary of the views on culture form a psychoanalytic perspective that he had been developing since the turn of the century. It is a tribute to the late theory of mind--the so-called structural theory, with its stress on aggression, indeed the death drive, as the pitiless adversary of eros. It is an exemplary exploration of the conflict between personal needs and desires and the restrictions society must impose in order to function.
