About my presentation

For my presentation I choose to talk about Psychoanalysis and the theory of the murder of the primordial father by the primordial horde as the possible beginning of our civilization.

I choose this theory because I like psychoanalysis so much, and I think the theory of the primordial horde is an interesting approach to try to explain some aspects related with the human behavior like the horror of incest. But the theory also explains some issues about the relation of our culture and the structure of our mind, like the moral thinking and angst feelings.

I think the presentation was ok, and I would not change anything.

The most interesting point of view of this theory is that it considered the culture as a fundamental aspect in the development of human mind. In this way, this theory included a social approach to explain our mind. I think this approach in the study of human mind could be interesting because is more complex than other theories that consider only biological aspects in the development of human mind.

I think it was one of the greatest contributions of Sigmund Freud’s theories.
