Více o knize

Exploring the intersection of psychoanalysis with archaeology, anthropology, and religion, this work delves into complex themes such as the psychological implications of incest, the nature of taboos, and the power of thoughts in animism and magic. Each of the four chapters addresses distinct yet interconnected subjects, including the emotional ambivalence surrounding taboos and the resurgence of totemic beliefs in childhood, offering a profound analysis of human behavior and cultural practices.
