Freud's seminal volume of twentieth-century cultural thought grounded in psychoanalytic theory, now with a new introduction by Christopher Hitchens. Written in the decade before Freud's death, Civilization and Its Discontents may be his most famous and most brilliant work. It has been praised, dissected, lambasted, interpreted, and reinterpreted. Originally published in 1930, it seeks to answer several questions fundamental to human society and its organization: What influences led to the creation of civilization? Why and how did it come to be? What determines civilization's trajectory? Freud's theories on the effect of the knowledge of death on human existence and the birth of art are central to his work. Of the various English translations of Freud's major works to appear in his lifetime, only Norton's Standard Edition, under the general editorship of James Strachey, was authorized by Freud himself. This new edition includes both an introduction by the renowned cultural critic and writer Christopher Hitchens as well as Peter Gay's classic biographical note on Freud.

意识到文明对个体的压抑并没有啥新意，弗洛伊德的洞见在于看到文明和个体之间有条件的同构性，这一点有些近似《理想国》中大字和小字的类比，但是弗的模型相对来说更加精致。他不再使用垂直方向上的灵魂三分，而是创造了一个爱洛斯与阿南刻恒久斗争的巨型神话，而这一神话在本书里还只是影影绰绰，需要结合他在另外许多处的论述才能更好理解。另外弗的文风真的很别致，让人又恨又爱的蛮不讲理竟有些文学性，之前读中文本味同嚼蜡，果然英文本才是正确打开方式。
评分有弗洛伊德本人观念的局限性，但对人性分析还是到位的。
评分老佛爷说，幸福什么的根本就不在直立行走的人类的出厂设置里啊，文明对此更是毫不关心，它所做的就是用完全无法实现的理想（爱邻如己）压抑人类生性的暴虐和不可调和的爱欲与死亡驱力。后半本讲超我和sense of guilt确实冗赘了些，他自己也意识到了还跟读者道歉哈哈哈。
评分I like his thinking, but I'm not sure if I can fully agree with his ideas.
评分civilized man has exchanged a portion of his possibilities of happinesses for a portion of security.
