Thoughts for the Times on War and Death are a set of essays written by Sigmund Freud and originally published in 1915.
Freud discusses how war affects human beings on an individual level and society as a whole on a psychological level. Freud delves into how humans cope with the fear of death and the concept of their own mortality.
He also addresses the role of human aggression, the motives that lead to it, and how a society must have an alternative to aggression that can maintain social order.
It is important to know the social context in which they were written, only 6 months after World War I began.
This edition of the book Thoughts for the Times on War and Death is based on the translation by Dr. A. A Brill and Alfred B. Kuttner.
