520 _a“Human creations are easy to destroy; the science and technology that built them can also be used for their destruction,” Freud writes in The Future of an Illusion. From Thoughts for the Times on War and Death to Civilization and its Discontents, via The Einstein-Freud Correspondence and The Future of an Illusion, Freud never ceases to return to the state of savagery far from civilization and the high moral values that accompany us in peacetime and that go hand in hand with “the right of the people.” War “places itself above all the restrictions to which one is bound in peacetime and above that which had been called the rights of the people.” It overthrows everything that stands in its way in a blind rage, as if no future or peace among humankind should ever follow it, and it even makes us forget that we are pacifists “for organic reasons.” Psychoanalytic investigation clearly shows that the deepest essence of humankind consists of instinctive drives. The life drive and the death drive engaged in an eternal struggle. This instinctive dualism questions everyone in their praxis and in their practice.
