About This Item
W. W. Norton & Company, 1962, 1962. Paperback. Very Good. Octavo, softcover, VG in white pictorial wraps. First American edition, 1962. Clean and unmarked. 109 pp. including index. During the summer of 1929, Freud worked on what became this seminal volume of twentieth-century thought. It stands as a brilliant summary of the views on culture from a psychoanalytic perspective that he had been developing since the turn of the century. It is both witness and tribute to the late theory of mind?the so-called structural theory, with its stress on aggression, indeed the death drive, as the pitiless adversary of eros.
