Written by Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents was first published in German in 1929. Originally published as Das Unbehagen in der Kultur, this brilliant work seeks to answer several questions fundamental to human society and its organization. In this book, Freud questions mans place in the world between the individuals quest for freedom and societys demand for conformity. Freuds theme is that what works for civilization does not necessarily work for man. Man, by nature is aggressive and egoistical and seeks selfsatisfaction, but culture inhibits his instinctual drives. The author also deals with the subject of neurotic repression and guilt, referring to them as being the price paid by individuals to live together as a community. Exploring what Freud sees as an important clash between the desire for individuality and the expectations of society, the book is considered one of Freuds most important and widely read works, and one of the most influential books in the field of modern psychology.
