Interest in the writings of Freud seems never to decline, but it is rare that an important book appears which discusses Freud's belief that human nature exists independently from the society in which an individual develops. Ilham Dilman's book provies this: a thorough critical discussion of the various issues raised bz Freud's ideas of sexual and moral development. Is his hedonistic conception of sex compatible with his view of sexuality as a healing and uniting force? Is morality only a force for repression? Are human nature and culture essentially opposed and irreconcilable? The author's rigorous philosophical approach reveals both the shortcomings and the virtues of Freud's most controversial ideas. He explores, analyses and criticizes Fred's view of the formation of conscience and the development of character, as well as his ideas about infantile sexalitzy, the universality of the Oedipus complex and the relation between love and sexuality.
