Civilization and Its Discontents by Sigmund Freud

5.0

I've tasted but the smallest apetizer of this man's annoyingly ardent pessemisim which he arrives at with infuriatingly careful, thoughtful, and well-reasoned steps. Though I can't quite put my finger on what he's actually thinking, I'd say the final flavour is a bit short of the optimism of the Universe I enjoy--- but at the same time, I see how far-back his reasoning and speculation go, and it's something respectable and valuable in itself.
