Sigmund Freud was the founder of the psychoanalytic school of psychology. He proposed numerous innovative theories of the unconscious that, even during his lifetime became the basis for the subsequent advancement of psychoanalysis. These include the theory of the subconscious and branches of psychology such as psychodynamics, the study of abnormality, and so on. His most renowned works include The Interpretation of Dreams, Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis, The Ego and the Id, etc.
- Freud argues that civilization inherently imposes restrictions on human instincts, leading to feelings of dissatisfaction among individuals. This struggle between individual desires and societal norms creates a perpetual tension that forms the basis of human discontent.
- The book explores the concept of guilt and the mechanisms of repression, suggesting that civilization cultivates guilt in individuals to maintain order and compliance. Freud posits that this guilt often results in inner conflict, as people wrestle with their primal urges in the face of societal expectations.
- Freud highlights the importance of love and relationships as a counterbalance to the suffering caused by civilization's constraints. He concludes that while civilization is necessary for social cohesion, it inevitably leads to a certain degree of unhappiness and frustration for its members.
