A classic from the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, 'Totem and Taboo' caused an outrage when it was first published in 1913. In a series of four thorough and thought-provoking articles, 'The Horror of Incest', 'Taboo and Emotional Ambivalence', 'Animism, Magic and the Omnipotence of Thoughts', and 'The Return of Totemism in Childhood', Freud attempts to pin down the exact moment civilized life began. One of Freud's more accessible works, it remains his fullest and most imaginative exploration of culture, family, society, and religion.
