Inhaltsangabe

What if the deepest beliefs of humanity were not revelations, but carefully constructed illusions created to satisfy our deepest fears and desires? In The Future of an Illusion, Sigmund Freud examines the origins and psychological foundations of religious belief, arguing that faith often serves as a response to humanity's longing for protection, order, and meaning in an uncertain world. Written in the final decade of Freud's life, this provocative and influential work applies the principles of psychoanalysis to questions of religion, culture, and civilization. Freud explores the relationship between human psychology and belief systems, challenging readers to consider how childhood experiences, fear of nature, and the search for security shape the ideas people hold most sacred. A landmark work in psychology, philosophy, and the study of religion, The Future of an Illusion remains one of Freud's most widely discussed examinations of the human mind and the forces that influence society. Both controversial and thought-provoking, it continues to inspire debate among psychologists, philosophers, theologians, and readers interested in the nature of belief.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, one of the most influential intellectual movements of the twentieth century. His theories on the unconscious mind, dreams, personality, and human behavior transformed psychology and influenced literature, philosophy, cultural studies, and the arts. His major works, including The Interpretation of Dreams, Civilization and Its Discontents, and The Future of an Illusion, continue to shape discussions about human nature and the workings of the mind.
