Civilization, culture, religion. Freud Z.

“To take away from the people a person whom he is proud of as the greatest among his sons - you are reluctant and not with a light soul for such a thing, especially if you belong to this people. But no instructive examples will feature me to set aside the truth for the sake of imaginary national interests, ” - this begins the“ man of Moses ”, the last work of the great psychologist. The essays included in this book are attributed to the "late period" when Freud makes an unexpected turn to the topic of religion. In his first work, he declares religion the universal neurosis, in the second - peeps into the nature of ancient horror and reverence for man before the unbearable divine father. Both works are presented in the translation of the outstanding philosopher and philologist V.V. Bibikhin and supplemented by his note to the last work of Freud.
