摘要
Freud's book, Moses and Monotheism, was written after serious research. But the question remains: was it truly a study of Moses as a historical figure, or a study in the origins of Monotheism, or neither? Perhaps it was a camouflage for the psychoanalysis of his compatriots, the Jews, people of the circumcision. From the surface, the book is strongly Freudian, full of spiritual metaphors, hardly a treatise on Moses or monotheism. It is more likely to be a book about himself and psychoanalysis. Freud compared the writing process of this book to a haunting spirit that refused to go away. This being his final piece of writing, the book may well symbolize the spirit of Judaism that had haunted Freud throughout his life, giving him no peace even in his old age. Perhaps the book should more accurately be titled Freud and Judaism because Moses and Monotheism is very possibly a psychoanalysis of Freud himself.
