About this audiobook
Sigmund Freud’s “Culture Disappointment” is one of the most famous and profound philosophical and sociological works of the father of psychoanalysis, in which he explores the eternal conflict between the human nature and the demands of civilization. Freud raises a brave hypothesis: the main goal of man is to pursue happiness, but the culture itself, created to protect against external threats and regulate relations between people, inevitably restricts our primary attitudes (primarily sexual and aggressive). By suppressing the animal nature of man and forcing him to obey the rules and moral norms, society generates in it a deep sense of guilt, anxiety and inner oppression. Analyzing the nature of aggression, religion, love and social institutions, the author asks the fundamental question: is civilization able to make a person happy, or will pay for order and security always be a sense of chronic dissatisfaction? Written on the link of psychoanalysis, sociology and philosophy, this work offers an uncompromised and thin look at the structure of society and the price that each of us pay for the right to be part of a civilized world. ** About what the book in three words:** Civilization, Understanding, Conflict. Interested in philosophy, sociology and psychoanalysis, lovers of scientific and popular classical works, as well as everyone who wants to understand the nature of social restrictions and the causes of internal contradictions of modern man.
