Freud finds christianity a special form of delusion and repression. And he has it allodit like this comes up a lot in the text, his contempt for the idea that you should love your fellow man. He's saying, this has to have a natural cause. It has to have its edeology, in some sort of psychoanalytic development,. The feeling itself is real, and even if it doesn't mean what a lot of people think it means.
David and Tamler dive into Sigmund Freud’s world of unconscious drives, death instincts, and thwarted incestuous urges in his classic text “Civilization and its Discontents.” If society has made so much progress, why are human beings perpetually dissatisfied? Can religion help us or is it a big part of the problem? What’s really going on when you piss on a fire to put it out? Also: how seriously should we take Freud today given some of his wackier ideas? And is he a psychologist, a philosopher, or something else entirely?
