A comprehensive psychoanalytic and political analysis of the contemporary 21st century West.

This essay re-examines Freud's early psychoanalytic ideas on the nature of obsessions, interpreted from the murder of the primal father in Totem and Taboo, and returns to his grounding ideals and a comprehensive defense of the coming-to-be-human in modernity. It argues that the West has regressed to an infantile and primitive present, driven by an unconscious hostility towards the Oedipus complex and, more comprehensively, the obsessional neuroses.
