Beyond the Pleasure Principle-First Edition text.

More about the book

Freud's essay presents a pivotal evolution in his theories, introducing the duality of human instincts: Eros, representing creativity and connection, and Thanatos, symbolizing destruction and aggression. By expanding beyond the pleasure principle, he explores the complex interplay between these opposing drives that shape human behavior. Additionally, Freud contrasts his views with those of Carl Jung and reviews the history of research on these fundamental instincts, offering a deeper understanding of the forces that motivate us.
