We all know that living in civilised groups means sacrificing a degree of personal interest, but couldn't you argue that it in fact creates the conditions for our happiness? Freud explores the arguments and counter-arguments surrounding this proposition, focusing on what he perceives to be one of society's greatest dangers; 'civilised' sexual morality. After all, doesn't repression of sexuality deeply affect people and compromise their chances of happiness?Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Penguin Modern ClassicsRelease Year: 2002 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
