A landmark work in applied psychoanalysis, Man, Morals and Society presents a rigorous and ambitious examination of the psychological foundations of human moral life. J. C. Flugel, a distinguished professor at University College London and Fellow of the British Psychological Society, argues that the moral codes and social structures governing human behaviour are deeply rooted in unconscious drives, instincts, and the conflicts first mapped by Freudian theory. The work chronicles the development of the moral sense from childhood through to its expression in adult social institutions, illustrating how guilt, authority, and the superego shape civilisation itself. Written with both scholarly depth and accessible clarity, it remains a compelling and authoritative bridge between psychoanalytic theory and the broader study of ethics and society.
