Civilization and Its Discontents (The Standard Edition) (Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud)
A Norton paperback of the Standard Edition translation by James Strachey, with an introduction by Peter Gay. Sigmund Freud's 1930 essay argues that civilization requires the suppression of instinct, and that the resulting guilt is the price of collective life. The type is small, the margins are narrow, and the prose is unmistakably Freud's late manner. The Norton cover is sober, the binding adequate, and the price low enough to treat as a reference rather than an heirloom. Ideal reader: the reader who suspects that happiness and social life are fundamentally at odds, or the person who wants to read the source rather than the summary.
