Abstract

An imaginative inquiry into the foundations of culture in which a speculative use is made of Freudian concepts. There is a critique and reevaluation of political, economic, religious, and philosophic aspects of culture in the light of the author's thesis that history is the scene of the struggle between life and death instincts.--R. J. B.
