Description Supposing Books The Future of an Illusion
In the manner of the eighteenth-century philosopher, Freud argued that religion and science were mortal enemies. Early in the century, he began to think about religion psychoanalytically and to discuss it in his writings. The Future of an Illusion (1927), Freud's best known and most emphatic psychoanalytic exploration of religion, is the culmination of a lifelong pattern of thinking.Details Books Toward The Future of an Illusion

Perhaps relevant in his times, but utter BS today. Our life is, essentially, a dream. If you are pessimistic enough to call any religion a collective illusion or neurosis, then you should have the courage and intellectual honesty to call your entire life, religious or non religious, an illusion and a neurosis. There are countless intelligent people who entirely miss the point of religion or spirituality. They look at it straight from the scientific perspective. From there, it becomes a dialogueI believe this is my favorite thing of Freuds Ive come across. In some ways, it is like a prelude to Civilizations and its Discontents, dealing with the pull between individual desires and the function of the civilization at large. What a contrast his thinking is to Durkheims! In culture, Durkheim sees everything that pulls the individual above his biological limitations and makes him a more perfect being. For Freud, culture is a repressive mechanism that dooms most men to unfulfilled desires
Penguin Great Ideas: 6/100, Series 3: 2/10As the civilization advances in this age of information boom, more and more people are disillusioned from religion and perhaps one major illusion is a necessity to bind human beings for their communal existence. Is Science an alternative? Is it too an illusion that's also bound to doom with time?
The Future of an Illusion is a 1927 book by Sigmund Freud, describing his interpretation of religion's origins, development, and its future. Freud viewed religion as a false belief system. He acknowledges that religion played a role in the development of civilization by restraining the anti-social and destructive tendencies of humans, thus making it possible for large populations to live together in relative peace. But he is also implying that as humans come to truly understand their psyche
Of all the Sigmund Freud books I have read, The Future of an Illusion is perhaps my least favorite one. Freud talks about the illusion that is God and his need for maintaining the civilization that is forced upon. While I am very intrigued by most of his observations stated in the book, my disappointment stems from his lack of neutrality throughout the narrative. I am genuinely acceptive of his stance as an atheist, however, it seems to me that he was unable to keep his personal emotions related
Dare I psychoanalyze the father of Psychoanalytics. This book, some other books by Freud like Civilization and it's Discontents and some later analysis by Carl Jung is a nice way to deep research Freuds own familial relationship problems and troubles growing up, especially his relationship with his own father expressed in a psychological way as intellectual distaste for religion. Religion was thus a blind spot for him and this blind spot grew as he aged, and unlike Carl Jung who had a better
In Totem and Taboo (1912), Sigmund Freud applied his technique of psychoanalysis to morality and religion. How did these come into existence? Well, when studying sociological phenomena like morality and religion, there's a parrallel to be drawn with the individual behaviour. In other words: individual psychology can be applied to society, to create something like mass psychology.Freud claimed that when children grow up, they go through the father-complex, and this is the exact same cause of
