Hypermoral und andere Paradoxien des Es-Überich-Kontinuums

According to Freud what remains after the dissolution of the Oedipus or castration complex is an intimate connection between the id and the superego: the two form a paradoxical, largely unconscious continuum. The widespread hypermorality in western societies is one of today’s most remarkable symptoms of this continuum, e.g. in the art world. Also, the Calvinist legacy in western subjectivity can be explained as a formation of the id-superego-continuum.
