Description: Fair. B0011GBTA2 Paperback book. withdrawn from a library. Civilization and Its Discontents (Newly Translated from the German) (Paperback) TAPED BINDING, by James Strachey (Translator), Sigmund Freud (Author) read more
"Interesting, and perhaps every college educated person needs to have read at least a little bit of Freud. But I come away thinking that sometimes his writing oversimplifies some things (rules out theism by simply claiming it's infantile) and over complicates other things (the significance of a child's feces to himself). I was amazed how much of his thinking rests on evolutionary presuppositions. If that theory ever is ruled out, it would be a blow to his theory of psycho-analysis. I also feel that he is very anti-Christian. He seems to look for every opportunity to belittle belief in God, but even more belief in Christ. He sees Christ's ethics (golden rule, love your neighbour as yourself, etc.) as unworkable in our fallen world. Maybe, I suppose, if one accepts his presuppositions about the meaning of life. But if he's wrong about those presuppositions, he is far off about Jesus' ethical teachings. Not enjoyable, but glad to have read it."
"Ok. I think Freud is interesting but I don't agree with some of his subconscious landmarks of misogyny and dreamscapes. However, this work is by far beyond the others that he has done. He addresses many of our animalistic instincts which seem to fit the frustrations of human kind. I agree with this book and that is unfortunate because it's pretty bleak and it doesn't say much for our cognitive development. I believe we are losing. This is a great read for anyone who is frustrated in our society and wants to know why people can be so difficult and why we would rather NOT watch the news."

Freud's masterpiece on human society: What we have given up and what we gain by living in civilization. This piece proves, even to Freud critics, just how relevant Freud is to contemporary Western philosophy.
How Does a Reader Even Begin to Choose Among the Treasure Trove of "Words of Wisdom": "Unhappiness is much less difficult to experience. We are threatened with suffering from three directions: from our own body, which is doomed to decay and dissolution and which cannot even do without pain and anxiety as warning signals; from the external world, which may rage against us with overwhelming and merciless forces of destruction; and finally from our relations to other men. The suffering which comes from this last source is perhaps more painful to us than any other" (24)."
