In 'Civilization and Its Discontents', Sigmund Freud, one of the most influential figures in contemporary thought, applies his psychoanalytic method to examine the human being in society. Freud argues that life in society imposes restrictions and sacrifices that lead to unhappiness, as social norms repress the basic instincts of the individual. This essay, one of Freud's most important, remains relevant today for its profound analysis of the human condition and its relationship to culture.

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for evaluating and treating pathologies arising from conflicts in the psyche through dialogue between patient and psychoanalyst, and the distinctive theory of mind and human agency derived from it.
