Product Description:
In Freud on Religion, Marsha Aileen Hewitt examines Sigmund Freud's complex understanding of religious belief and practice. Freud's work suggests that religions originate in the unconscious needs, longings, and fantasies of human minds. This book brings together contemporary psychoanalytic theory and Freud's clinical case material to illustrate how unconscious mental processes support various forms of religious belief, from mainstream to occult.
The text offers a new perspective on Freud's thinking and underscores the relevance of psychoanalysis in the study of religion. Hewitt’s work provides a balanced introduction to Freud's psychoanalytic themes and tackles subjects that earlier theorists hesitated to explore. It demonstrates the enduring contribution of Freud’s approach to religion in relation to contemporary scientific understanding.
Reviews:
"Freud on Religion" is praised for providing a clear introduction to psychoanalytic thought while maintaining a mature balance between scholarly rationality and intuitive insight. It's essential reading for anyone exploring Freud's intersection with religion and contemporary science.
