Civilization’s Discontents is one of Sigmund Freud’s most important works, in which he deals with the relationship between the individual and society. Freud discusses the tensions that arise from the restrictions imposed by society on human instincts, such as aggression and sexual desires, which are necessary to maintain social order. Freud argues that these restrictions cause a constant feeling of dissatisfaction or “discontent” in individuals, creating an internal conflict between the needs of the individual and the demands of civilization. The book reflects a profound analysis of human nature and the contradictions it faces in order to achieve a balance between personal freedom and social order.
