Zukunft einer Illusion

About “Zukunft einer Illusion”

In 1927, Sigmund Freud wrote a non-fiction work in which he explored the development and origins of religion. He viewed religion as an illusion, describing it as the fulfillment of the oldest, strongest, and most urgent wishes of mankind. Freud argued that illusions are shaped by human desires and that religion serves this function by satisfying deep-seated emotional needs. His analysis focused on how religious beliefs arise from these fundamental human wishes.
