A review by adammtucker
The Future of an Illusion by Sigmund Freud
3.0
"No, science is no illusion. But an illusion it would be to suppose that what science cannot give us we can get elsewhere." This line in Sigmund Freud's The Future of an Illusion is perhaps the best in the entire short book. It is also the last.
This book is a fairly usual atheist treatise concerning the roles of religion and science in the educated person's life, with perhaps the noted inclusion of some support of religion - that ridding society of religion would cause chaos within the strata of the less-educated population.
A must-read for all educated readers, but perhaps less informative than I was hoping for.
