Quotation from Reflections on War and Death by Sigmund Freud
“From this emotional conflict psychology arose”
Reflections on War and Death, Part II, 'Our Attitude Towards Death', trans. A. A. Brill and Alfred B. Kuttner (1918)
Freud corrects the philosophers: it was not the intellectual riddle of death but mixed love and hostility at the death of a loved one that first set people thinking about the soul.
