In what remains one of his most seminal papers, Freud considers theincompatibility of civilisation and individual happiness, and thetensions between the claims of society and the individual. We allknow that living in civilised groups means sacrificing a degree ofpersonal interest, but couldn't you argue that it in fact createsthe conditions for our happiness? Freud explores the arguments andcounter-arguments surrounding this proposition, focusing on what heperceives to be one of society's greatest dangers; 'civilised'sexual morality. After all, doesn't repression of sexuality deeplyaffect people and compromise their chances of happiness?
