دانلود کتاب Judaism in Sigmund Freud’s World

Sigmund Freud called religion an illusion. Yet he declared that he was a Jew in his deepest nature, for the main part of his personality was Jewish. He asserted that he maintained a great deal of what being Jewish really meant, "probably its very essence."

Judaism in Sigmund Freud's World clarifies the connection between the personal life and religion of Freud in the light of the contemporary Jewish setting. The book examines in depth the factor of anti-Semitism which deeply affected his beliefs and philosophy. By blending the statements of the Founder of Psychoanalysis into the historical milieu of his time, a new and clearer picture of Freud unfolds.
