{"product_id":"9780141182414","title":"Mass Psychology","description":"\u003cbr\u003eFreud's religious unbeliefs are too easily dismissed as the standard scientific rationalism of the 20th-century intellectual, yet he scorned the high-minded humanism of his contemporaries. In \u003ci\u003eMass Psychology \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAnalysis of the \"I\" \u003c\/i\u003ehe explores the notion of \"mass-psychology\"—his findings would prove all too prophetic in the years that followed. Writings such as \u003ci\u003eA Religious Experience\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Future of an Illusion \u003c\/i\u003econtinue earlier work on the essential savagery of the civilized mind, and \u003ci\u003eMoses the Man \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMonotheistic Religion \u003c\/i\u003eexcavates the roots of religion and racism, which he concludes are inextricably intertwined. This remarkable collection reveals Freud not only at his most radically pessimistic, but also at his most personally courageous—engaging with his own adherences, his own antecedents, his own identity.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014438404336,"sku":"9780141182414","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141182414_p0.jpg?v=1763655163","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141182414","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
