«El malestar en la cultura» is Sigmund Freud's essay published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Freud analyses here the conflict between individual drive and the demands of civilisation: life in society protects and organises, but at the cost of repressing the instinctual. That sacrifice generates a deep-seated unease that the book examines in its sources and in the consolations with which one tries to alleviate it, from love and religion to art.
The edition belongs to Alianza's El Libro de Bolsillo collection (no. 280). Translated from German by Ramón Rey Ardid and Luis López-Ballesteros y de Torres.
For readers of psychoanalysis, philosophy and cultural theory who want to approach one of Freud's most influential essays.
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.
