Civilization and Its Discontents (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)
Civilization and Its Discontents is widely considered Freud's most important and most brilliant work. In it Freud examines why today's society causes suffering on such a vast scale and whether the human drives for pleasure and aggression can ever be reconciled. This lively new translation with helpful explanatory notes captures Freud's engaging tone for a twenty-first-century audience and includes essays by two of Freud's most insightful and renowned interpreters, historian Carl E. Schorske and philosopher Richard Rorty.

Rorty, Richard: - Richard Rorty (1931-2007) was an eminent American philosopher known for many seminal books, including Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity, Achieving Our Country, and Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature.
