Thoughts for the Time of War and Death (German: Zeitgemäßes über Krieg und Tod) is a set of twin essays written by Sigmund Freud in 1915, six months after the outbreak of World War I.
Sigmund Freud begins "Thoughts for the Times on War and Death" by lamenting Europe's degenerate state. Millions of soldiers are caught up in World War I (1914–18) while people at home feel disillusioned by the unwelcome changes that have befallen the continent.
One need not be a sentimentalist, one may realize the biological and physiological necessity of suffering in the economy of human life, and yet one may condemn the methods and the aims of war and long for its termination.
The war years brought death to the center of Freud's thinking and his personal life. In his bleak outlook, Freud understood war to be a resurgence of the violent past that humankind was incapable of leaving behind.
