Description

"Das Unbehagen in der Kultur" [The Uneasiness in Civilization] can be read as a review of Freud's theoretical work and as the first summa of a not undisputed, but nevertheless established cultural discourse.

In this new edition, Wolfgang Muller-Funk comments on Freud's ambivalent Theory of Culture and outlines the history behind its origin.

He sheds light upon the various - and partly contradictory - concepts that Freud unfolds within his study, and discusses key notions.

For instance, Freud's Theory of Culture holds a striking affinity with the English term 'civilization' and regards culture rather as a restriction than an enabler of freedom.

In the second part of this volume, Wolfgang Muller-Funk gives an extensive overview of the reception of Freud's Theory of Culture.
