The Future of an Illusion

Exploring the origins and development of religion, Sigmund Freud presents a provocative interpretation, viewing it as an illusion stemming from humanity's deepest desires. He delves into the psychological underpinnings of faith and its implications for the future, positioning religion as a fulfillment of fundamental human wishes. This 1927 work remains a significant contribution to psychoanalysis and 20th-century thought, challenging readers to reconsider the role of religion in human life.
