Freud?s view of civilization

Freud's view of civilization derives from his understanding of the fight of love and death. Freud began with expressing speculation about the origin of life and similarity of life and expressed two opposite instincts: God's love and death. Eros retains the substance of life and adds it to a larger unit like society, but death will cause these units to disappear and return to their original state. The motive for death seems to be retrograde, undifferentiated, unorganized, returning to a state of no tension.

Some of the most interesting works of Freud are about "interpretation of dreams", his favorite "psychopathology of everyday life", Freud's slip and other everyday habits, totem and taboo, Flo. The beginning of ours, Ide's view on civilization and its dissatisfaction, his pessimistic comments on modern society, and the future of illusions about religion. All of them are part of the standard version, but all are in one paperback. Father of psychoanalysis has done psychoanalysis many times. First of all, his student Ernesto Jones has his official biography. Recently it was biography of Peter Gay. A very critical explanation of Freud's work is Jeffrey Mason's "Truth Attack". The best book and psychoanalytic exercise I encountered on Freud is George Makari's "spiritual revolution: creation of psychoanalysis". Comments and criticisms of Freud's work are infinite!

During the two world wars Freud's most widely read publication was "civilization and dissatisfaction" (1930). Following the collapse of the New York City stock market, Freud's famous rethinking is a sustainability between human's deeply destructive behavioral tendency and its own ability to "sublimate" primitive aggression "constructively" Interpret human civilization as instability. Nonviolent cultural activities such as balance economics, sports, art, science, spiritual life etc. The necessary psychological expense, or "cost of civilization" is a retreat and pain that continues to abandon the instinct necessary for a stable local life. This seems to be an essential dilemma for Freud's human race. Freud brought the latter idea to the current affair problem of "why are you going to fight?"

What is civilization? (Floyd style) According to Freud and the interpretation of "civilization" written in his novel "civilization and dissatisfaction", he noted that the word "civilization" explains the overall achievement and rules that distinguish us. I live in the life of our ancestor's ancestors. It also serves two purposes - to protect men from nature and to adjust their interrelationship. In order for the civilization to survive and thrive, it is necessary for law, custom, justice, evolution, abandonment of instinct, love, desire to put together people, and desire for sexual freedom.
