Moses and Civilization : The Meaning Behind Freud`s Myth

Moses and Civilization : The Meaning Behind Freud`s Myth

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In this brilliant book, Robert A. Paul argues that Freud`s theory of the origins of civilization is an unwitting analysis of the great mythic narrative that underlies Judeo-Christian thought found principally in the Old Testament`s Five Books of Moses. Synthesizing anthropology, psychoanalysis, and religion, Paul corrects and completes Freud`s theory and presents a valid psychoanalytic account of Western civilization, one that rests on a detailed reading of the biblical text and the legends, folklore, commentaries, and social practices surrounding it.
