Totem and Taboo , livre audio

"Totem and Taboo" by Sigmund Freud explores the origins of human culture, religion, and morality through a psychoanalytic lens. Freud draws parallels between primitive societies and modern neuroses, examining totemism, taboos, and the Oedipus complex. He argues that primal emotions and unconscious drives shape societal structures, including laws and religious practices. By analyzing rituals, myths, and prohibitions, Freud delves into the psychological underpinnings of group identity and authority. A groundbreaking work, it bridges anthropology and psychoanalysis, offering provocative insights into the shared roots of individual and collective behavior. Though controversial, it remains a foundational text for understanding human nature.
