II. THE SEXUAL THEORY 367

Humanity evolves its own restrictions on sexuality for the sake of the advance of civilisation--The presence of a grave sexual problem testifies to the need of more differentiated conceptions--The erotic conflict largely unconscious--Neurosis represents the unsuccessful attempt of the individual to solve the problem in his own case--To understand the idea of the dream as a wish-fulfilment the manifest and latent content must be taken in review--The nature of unconscious wishes--Dream analysis leads to the deepest recesses of the unconscious--The analyst compared to the accoucheur--The highest development of the individual is sometimes in complete conflict with the herd-morality--Psychoanalysis provides the patient with a philosophy of life founded upon insight--Man has within himself the essence of morals--Both the moral and immoral man must accept the corrective of the unconscious--Our sexual morality too undifferentiated--Freud's sexual theory right to a point but too one-sided.
