Freud on eros (love) and thanatos (death): Civilization and Its Discontents
This very brief talk revolves around Freud's 1929-30 book, Civilization and Its Discontents. Here Freud considers some fundamental questions: how do we control aggression? What are the sources of our unhappiness? What does the desire for individuality run up against? How is civilization made possible? Some of our instincts are harmful to society and it in consequence of this that civilization imposes restraints. These restraints are in turn the cause of our unhappiness. Civilization is necessitated by the need to protect us from unhappiness but civilization is in turn the source of our unhappiness and uneasiness. Freud goes on to furnish a reading of the tension between eros (the love-instinct) and thanatos (the death-instinct).

Sir I am great fan of you knowledge and intellectual explanations

Waisted my time, :( 17 min. passed and now he mentions the subject of the video.
Thank you, Vinay, I knew what you were going to say. That book is enlightening - I understand that the Jewish Freud may have "disliked" that G-d of the Old Testament, who was an angry misogynistic, over-bearing authoritarian. Many have abandoned that old fart, and Chritospher Hitchens abandoned Christianity, too, because of the "infantilism" of believing a Messiah will arrive and "make everything all right" (better than Mamas kisses)
