Reviews
This new edition and translation of Sigmund Freud's The Future of an Illusion has much to recommend it. The Introduction, in particular, is a gem of insightful analysis of the conflicting motives and logical inconsistencies that characterize Freud's arguments in this controversial essay. In laying bare the contradictions inherent in this work, Dufresne brings a fresh and incisive understanding to a book that, despite well-justified skepticism about its scientific merits, remains a thought-provoking and quintessentially Freudian explication of religious belief.

Synopsis
This new translation of The Future of an Illusionis for the first time paired with Oskar Pfister's powerful response, "The Illusion of a Future" (1928)., Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, declared that religion is a universal obsessional neurosis in his famous work of 1927, The Future of an Illusion. This work provoked immediate controversy and has continued to be an important reference for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, psychology, religion, and culture. Included in this volume is Oskar Pfister's critical engagement with Freud's views on religion. Pfister, a Swiss pastor and lay analyst, defends mature religion from Freud's "scientism." Freud's and Pfister's texts have been updated in Gregory C. Richter's translations from the original German.

    Item exactly as described. It took a week after purchasing before it was shipped and another week in transit, yet the item was only supposed to be about 100 miles away??? Other than slow shipping time, the item was priced to sell, packaged adequately for shipping and exact as advertised. Would purchase from this seller again.

    Seller great with communication. Only gripe I have is the media Mail shipping time. Domestic shipping within the US should not take over 2 weeks. I realize not the sellers fault but would be nice to have faster shipping option. Otherwise, good seller and item was as described.
