This series of 28 lectures was given by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), the founder of psychoanalysis, during the First World War and first published in English in 1920.

An astonishing work of cultural criticism, this book is widely recognized as a brilliant and devastating challenge to conventional views of literature, anthropology, religion, and psychoanalysis. In its scope and interest it can be compared with Freud's Totem and Taboo, the subtext Girard refutes with polemic daring, vast erudition, and a persuasiveness that leaves the listener compelled to respond, one way or another.

În ambele am beneficiat de îndrumare. Pentru filosofie, mi-a fost ghid Constantin Noica, pentru actul iniţiatic al coborârii în inconştient, psihologul Eugen Papadima. Demersurile par ireconciliabile.
