Eros And Civilization

Abstract: Civilization, as well as the individual, is capable of personal evolution, including the ability to redefine the future based on the knowledge gained from experience. This 3 page paper asserts that Herbert Marcuse, in Eros and Civilization confronts the arguments presented by Sigmund Freud in Civilization And Its Discontents, finding that Freud's interpretation of the repressive nature of civilization was pertinent only to the time and place as well as cultural understandings of history.
