Freud's epoch-making insights revolutionised our perception of who we are, forming the foundation for psychoanalysis. In 'Civilization and its Discontents' he considers the incompatibility of civilisation and individual happiness. Focusing on what he perceives to be one of society's greatest dangers; 'civilised' sexual morality, he asks, does repression compromise our chances of happiness?
