Civilization and Its Discontents (Das Unbehagen in der Kultur) 1930
Focusing on the fundamental tensions between civilization & the individual. The primary friction stems from the individual’s quest for instinctive freedom & civilization’s contrary demand for conformity & repression of instincts.
Civilization protects us, but it also creates unhappiness by blocking our most basic instincts. The rules required to live together in peace mean humans can never be fully satisfied or completely happy. The tension between what the individual wants & what society demands is a permanent part of human life.
