Wundt himself has to acknowledge that the changes which taboo undergoes in the richer culture of the Polynesians and in the Malayan Archipelago are not very profound. The greater social differentiation of these races manifests itself in the fact that chiefs, kings and priests exercise an especially effective taboo and are themselves exposed to the strongest taboo compulsion.
But the real sources of taboo lie deeper than in the interests of the privileged classes: âThey begin where the most primitive and at the same time the most enduring human impulses have their origin, namely, in the fear of the effect of demonic powersâ[38]. âThe taboo, which originally was nothing more than the objectified fear of the demonic power thought to be concealed in the t. . .

It's my first book by Freud and it was... impressive. First of all, I must praise his writing style (or, perhaps, the translator). It's a very readable book even if you are a total newbie to the subject matter of the book, and it's not some ordinary subject matter: combining anthropological data...more

An engrossing myth of its own is presented to us in the Freud-Jung dyad. Carl Jung for all his flaws - and they were many - was possessed of a genius that was unafraid to tread into new and unsecured territory that challenged the narrow and limiting definition of “libido” insisted upon by Freud....more

یکی دیگر از وجوه خط مشی انسان بدوی در قبال پادشاه، یادآور جریانی است که به فراوانی در بیماریهای روانی و به ویژه در بیماری معروف به هذیان اذیت و آزار دیده میشود. بدینمنوال که بیمار اعتبار و اهمیت شخص معینی را تا آنجا که ممکن است بالا میبرد و قدرتی نامحدود و باورنکردنی را به او نسبت میدهد تا آنکه...more
هر کسی خدایان را به شکل و هیأت پدرش تصور میکند. و خطمشی هرکسی نسبت به خدایانش تابعی است از رویهی او نسبت به پدر خاکیاش. و به همین ترتیب دستخوش تغییر و تبدیل میگردد. و خدایان در حقیقت پدری است با شایستگی بیشتر.
دوستانِ گرانقدر، این کتاب در نوعِ خودش اثری بینظیر و عالیست که در آن اندیشمندِ خردگرا <زیگموند فروید> تلاش نموده تا بر اساس فرض یکی بودنِ ماهيت <تابو> و ماهيت پرهيزهـایِ وسواسی در بيمـارانِ روانی، <تابو> را تجزيه و تحليل نماید و در کل موضوعِ <توتم> و <تابو> را از دید...more

يبدو الطوطم نظاما ً اجتماعيا ً أكثر من كونه دينيا ً ، فهو لا يسير وفق تشريعات تشابه إلى حد ٍ ما تشريعات الأديان ، إنما بأنظمة محظورات تشبه المحظور الديني ، و إن كنت أرجح ان كل محظور اجتماعي له ركيزة دينية ، و مع هذا فأنا لا أجزم حتى الآن أن هذه المحظورات...more
I found it incredibly 'stimulating' - a suitable word I think; considering a certain sexual implication that it carries. Not that I found it sexually stimulating or anything... it's mostly about incest... it's just... that it's Freud, because y'know... I'm not actually... oh, whatever.

في سنة 1913 ارسل فرويد لصديقه يقول : (إنني إذ اكتب في الوقت الحاضر الطوطم والحرام , يخالجني شعور بأنه سيكون أهم اعمالي افضلها و ربما اخرها .. ومنذ تفسير الاحلام لم اكتب قط شيئاً بمثل هذا الاقتناع و هذا الفرح , ومن ثم أستطيع ان اتنبأ بما سيلقاه هذا البحث من استقبال : عاصفة من الاستنكار ...
