Ideas Matter is hosted by Louis, a PhD student in political theory, and Alex, a humanities teacher. Each episode is structured around the work of a great thinker. We aim to explore their ideas in an accessible manner, without dumbing them down. No topic is off limits: the theology of Saint Augustine, Lenin's revolutionary theory, Marx's critique of capitalism, Platonic discussions on love, or Nietzsche's metaphysical musings.

Civilisation and its Discontents by Sigmund Freud

Sex. The Ego. Repression. Sublimation. The Death Drive. That's right, we're reading Freud. Specifically we are reading two essays by Freud, "Civilised Sexuality Morality and Modern Nervous Illness" (1908) and "Civilisation and its Discontents" (1930). These works provide a brief introduction to core Freudian concepts such as repression and sublimation. Join us for a critical reading of one of the twentieth century's most important thinkers.
