Abstract

This article is a special intervention in LAPSO’s issue devoted to the Obscure Gods. The author analyzes the contributions made by the text Civilization and its Discontents written by Sigmund Freud in 1929. It is known that the main Freudian legacy of this work is that there is no full satisfaction of the drive, but the author isolates other contributions that are not less transcendental to interpret phenomena such as segregation and violence.
