Moses and Monotheism

Set against the backdrop of 1938 London, Sigmund Freud's work explores the controversial theory that Moses was an Egyptian prince rather than a Hebrew. In "Moses and Monotheism," Freud argues that Moses, influenced by Akhenaten's monotheism, faced resistance from the Hebrews, leading to his murder. This study transcends mere historical speculation, positing that Moses' promotion of an invisible God marked a pivotal shift in human thought, prioritizing intellectuality over sensory experience and paving the way for advancements in art and science.
