Relations between psychoanalysis and related fields of knowledge have been carried out for more than a century by immanent embedding psychoanalytic discourse into modern psychology, sociology and political science. At the same time, the psychoanalytic approach was especially pronounced in the modern psychology of art in historical anthropology, in particular, in the study of the boundaries between nature, society and culture.
Z. Freud addresses the most problematic aspects of ideas about the subject, interpreting them through the “symptoms” of culture. The creator of psychoanalysis, in fact, for the first time, is the question of the deep essence of the subject, which previously slipped away from research, remaining hidden behind the screen of culture.
In the work “Mass Psychology and I analysis” (1921), Freud applies the psychoanalytic method to the study of mass processes, the subject of which are the most general patterns of the functioning of large masses of people, which are based on mechanisms revealed in the study of the phenomenon Crowds and features of the development of severe mental disorders.
Freud repeatedly turns to the study of the emergence of a religious institution as a social. The beginning of the study of this phenomenon was laid by the work “Totem and Tabu” (1913), and later found its development in the texts presented in this volume “The Future of one Illusion” (1927) and “The inconvenience of culture” (1930)
“The future of one illusion” can be partly called the entry to the work “inconvenience of culture”, since it is in this text that Freud expands the psychoanalytic understanding of the culture in general, and does not turn exclusively to the mental mechanisms of an individual subject.
In a letter to A. Einstein Why War? (1933) Freud explores the issue of violence and aggression, which have not disappeared at all in a society subordinate to cultural norms. At the same time, the suppression of aggressive drives is interpreted as the most important task of culture. But culture does not cancel the accumulation of aggressive impulses and the need to discharge destructive drives. The suppression of these impulses and drives is the price that the subject pays, transforming the supplanted experiences into various forms of sublimation or into neurotic reactions.
traditionally double 15-16 volume is equipped with links to the academic publications of Z. Freud in German and English, a preface, historical notes and comments
