Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. A detailed yet a comprehensive read. Freud discusses his views on religious faith, and the army, and how these social drivers can cause human kind to commit acts of atrocities. It discusses a few aspects of Freud’s interest in the human mind, and how social drivers drive us to behave. This might feel a little similar to Crowds and Power by Elias Canetti, but unlike Canetti, Freud's work is more balanced i.e Scientific = Literary. A good read, but this book can be a difficult read without the prior understanding of Freud’s concepts and notions of the dynamics of the human mind. One must be familiar with Freud's writing (Psychoanalysis) before picking this. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Freud's religious unbeliefs are too easily dismissed as the standard scientific rationalism of the twentieth-century intellectual, yet he scorned the high-minded humanism of his contemporaries. In Mass Psychology and Analysis of the 'I' he explores the notion of 'mass-psychology' - his findings would prove all too prophetic in the years that followed. Writings such as A Religious Experience and The Future of an Illusion continue earlier work on the essential savagery of the civilized mind, and Moses the Man and Monotheistic Religion excavates the roots of religion and racism, which he concludes are inextricably intertwined.This remarkable collection reveals Freud not only at his most radically pessimistic, but also at his most personally courageous - engaging with his own adherences, his own antecedents, his own identity.
