Originally appearing in  Imago (1915) Freud's “Thoughts for the Times of War and Death” opens this practical condensation which the reviewer opens while the radio is yelling “War” this very morning in 1939. There is little question that mankind en masse must go through with these “repetitious compulsions” and the sober, enlightening discussion made in 1915 taught us nothing, or at least not enough to recognize the means by which fang and tooth and claw can get along without so much sudden mass aggression.
