    Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex-Sigmund Freud
    Nov 10 2026
    Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex by Sigmund Freud.

    In this little book Freud discusses three areas of human sexuality: 1. Sexual perversions or aberrations. In this essay, Freud concludes that "a disposition to perversions is an original and universal disposition of the human sexual instinct and that...this postulated constitution, containing the germs of all the perversions, will only be demonstrable in children“. 2. His second essay on "The Infantile Sexuality", argues that children have sexual urges, from which adult sexuality only gradually emerges via psychosexual development. Looking at children, Freud identified many forms of infantile sexual emotions, including thumb sucking, autoeroticism, and sibling rivalry in childhood. 3. In his third essay, "The Transformations of Puberty", Freud formalized the distinction between the 'fore-pleasures' of infantile sexuality and the 'end-pleasure' of sexual intercourse.

  • Mind and the Brain-Alfred Binet

    Mind and the Brain-Alfred Binet
    Nov 8 2026
    Mind and the Brain by Alfred Binet.

    The authorized translation of L’âme et le corps, F. Legge, editor “This book is a prolonged effort to establish a distinction between what is called mind and what is called matter. Nothing is more simple than to realise this distinction when you do not go deeply into it; nothing is more difficult when you analyse it a little. At first sight, it seems impossible to confuse things so far apart as a thought and a block of stone; but on reflection this great contrast vanishes, and other differences have to be sought which are less apparent and of which one has not hitherto dreamed.”

  • Dream Psychology - Sigmund Freud

    Dream Psychology - Sigmund Freud
    Nov 5 2026
    Dream Psychology by Sigmund Freud.

    Not a few serious-minded students, [...], have been discouraged from attempting a study of Freud's dream psychology. In those days, Freud could not leave out any detail likely to make his extremely novel thesis evidentially acceptable to those willing to sift data. - Freud himself, however, realized the magnitude of the task which the reading of his magnum opus imposed upon those who have not been prepared for it by long psychological and scientific training and he abstracted from that gigantic work the parts which constitute the essential of his discoveries.

  • Reflections on War and Death-Sigmund Freud

    Reflections on War and Death-Sigmund Freud
    Nov 4 2026
    Reflections on War and Death by Sigmund Freud.

    Anyone, as Freud tells us in Reflections on War and Death , forced to react against his own impulses may be described as a hypocrite, whether he is conscious of it or not. One might even venture to assert—it is still Freud's argument—that our contemporary civilisation favours this sort of hypocrisy and that there are more civilised hypocrites than truly cultured persons, and it is even a question whether a certain amount of hypocrisy is not indispensable to maintain civilisation.
