- Summary:
- Ideas in Psychoanalysis is a series of essays which explain psychoanalytical concepts, their relevance to everyday life and their ability to illuminate the nature of human society and culture.
- Unlike other beasts of the garden, human beings learn to control their sexual and aggressive motions; to distinguish between parents, sexual-partners and friends; to acquire a sense of the beautiful. We call this civilization. Kalu Singh explains how we have developed these capacities -- and argues for a sense of the moral sublime as the zenith of human development.
