'Moses and Monotheism' consists of three essays of greatly differing length, two prefaces, both situated at the beginning of the third essay, and a third preface situated halfway through that same essay. The book took 4 or more years for completion, during which it was being constantly revised. There were acute external difficulties in the final phase which consisted of a succession of political disorders in Austria culminating in the Nazi occupation of Vienna and Freud's enforced migration to England. The whole work is to be regarded as a continuation of Freud's earlier studies of the origins of human social organization in Totem and Taboo and Group Psychology. [ eng ] |

shown in filters: References and Indices Monotheism (from the Greek monos "only", and theos "god") is a word coined in comparatively modern times to designate belief in the one supreme God, the Creator and Lord of the world, the eternal Spirit, All-powerful, All-wise, and All-good, the Rewarder of good and the Punisher of evil, the Source of our happiness and perfection. It is opposed to Polytheism, which is belief in more gods than one, and to Atheism, which is disbelief in any deity whatsoever. In contrast with Deism, it is the recognition of God's presence and activity in every part of creation. In contrast with Pantheism, it is belief in a God of conscious freedom, distinct from the physical world. Both Deism and Pantheism are religious philosophies rather than religions. [ eng ] |
