弗洛伊德的宗教起源论透视

An analysis of Freud's theory on the genisis of religion

弗洛伊德把精神分析学说运用于对宗教心理根源的考察 ,认为宗教是“俄狄浦斯情结”惧父心理的无意识转移的产物。原始时期父权制部落里的儿辈们的仇父、弑父以及由此而产生的“懊悔心理” ,为宗教崇拜和道德禁忌的产生奠定了基础。各种宗教信仰的对象 ,如图腾、摩西、上帝等都是“父亲”的化身 ;宗教的教导、安慰、要求三大社会功能也体现了“父亲”

Freud applied psychoanalysis to the study of psychological origin of religion,believing that religion is the product of Oedipus complex that demonstrates fear of one's father,and the change of sub consciousness.In the premary society when patriarchy was practiced,the young generation in the tribes used to hate and even kill their fathers,and then they would be filled with remorse,which,as it were,laid foundation for religious worship and moral taboo.Totem,Moses and God are incarnations of father.The three social functions of religion in terms of instruction,consolation and demand also embody the functions of fathers.
