Zeitgemäßes über Krieg und Tod - Warum Krieg?
In "Zeitgemässes über Krieg und Tod" (1915), Freud takes up the theme of "Totem and taboo" and discovers similarities in the mental lives of primitive man and modern civilized man in their relationship to war and death. "Why war?" (1932) responds to Einstein's open letter, which asked Freud how the "psychosis of hatred and annihilation" could be prevented. In his answer, Freud takes stock of his cultural analysis condensed in "Unbehagen in der Kultur". Only through the inhibition of the aggression instinct achieved in the cultural process could peace be created. Both essays pose burning questions. Does pacifism help to prevent war in times of crisis? Hasn't the ability to wage war always been considered a high cultural value? Are there "just" wars of defense?
