Reflections on War and Death

di Sigmund Freud (Autore)

Ink and Marble, 2026

War strips away comforting illusions and forces hard questions about what we believe, fear, and deny. In Reflections on War and Death, Sigmund Freud brings the tools of psychoanalysis to the shock of modern conflict and the unsettling reality of mortality. In two closely linked essays, Freud examines how wartime violence exposes the fragile layers of civilization, how aggression and group psychology can erupt when social restraints weaken, and why even educated societies can drift into moral numbness. He also turns to the private side of catastrophe, exploring the ways people think about death, grieve, and defend themselves against unbearable loss. The result is a rigorous, provocative work of psychological philosophy that listens for what lies beneath public rhetoric and personal certainty. Concise yet penetrating, this classic Freud essay collection offers a challenging and rewarding listening experience for anyone interested in depth psychology, human nature, the psychology of war, mortality, and the history of ideas. Let these reflections sharpen your understanding and stay with you long after the final chapter. Start listening now.
