«O Mal-Estar na Civilização» is Sigmund Freud's essay, published by Imago in hardcover (112 pages, in Brazilian Portuguese).
Freud argues that civilization, to make coexistence possible, imposes restrictions and repressions on instincts, and that this sacrifice generates a structural malaise: guilt, frustration, and renunciation of full happiness. The author thus analyzes the psychological price of progress and the contradictions between the individual and collective life.
Originally published in 1930 as «Das Unbehagen in der Kultur»; this 1997 Brazilian edition includes the Portuguese translation by José Octávio de Aguiar Abreu.
For readers interested in psychoanalysis, philosophy, and social theory, and for those seeking a classic of twentieth-century thought.
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for evaluating and treating pathologies arising from conflicts in the psyche through dialogue between patient and psychoanalyst, and the distinctive theory of mind and human agency derived from it.
