Meer over het boek

Freud's exploration of religion through a psychoanalytic lens positions it as fundamentally opposed to science, reflecting a lifelong intellectual journey. "The Future of an Illusion" serves as his most significant work on this topic, encapsulating his views on the psychological underpinnings of religious belief. Through this analysis, Freud delves into the nature of faith and its implications for human understanding, emphasizing the tension between religious ideology and scientific rationality.
