Features: Here, Freud clearly affirms the role of collective forces in civilization, recognizing the significance of society in the development of human civilization. At the same time, we must realize that in creative exploration and activities—i.e., the promising areas of individual success—reason and irrationality are the two legs of a person. Reason cannot exist without irrationality, and irrationality cannot exist without reason. Their interaction is the guarantee of success. Human activity is both moving toward the future and stepping into history. While we see the future of civilization, we also see our dissatisfaction with it. This book is compiled from the main works of Freud during his early, middle, and late periods, adhering to the principle of being easy to understand, and some English translations have been referenced.
