Reflections on War and Death-Sigmund Freud
From Concept of Nature · 1:14:55
Show by Alfred North Whitehead
Reflections on War and Death by Sigmund Freud.Anyone, as Freud tells us in Reflections on War and Death , forced to react against his own impulses may be described as a hypocrite, whether he is conscious of it or not. One might even venture to assert—it is still Freud's argument—that our contemporary civilisation favours this sort of hypocrisy and that there are more civilised hypocrites than truly cultured persons, and it is even a question whether a certain amount of hypocrisy is not indispensable to maintain civilisation.Featured on Concept of Nature.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
