The Question of God: Sigmund Freud & C.S. Lewis on Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life

For more than twenty-five years Harvard psychiatrist Armand Nicholi taught a course comparing the philosophical arguments of Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis. In this 2003 lecture, Nicholi explores how the worldviews of these seminal figures shaped their understanding of the problem of pain and suffering, the nature of love and sex, and the ultimate meaning of life and death. Nicholi’s book by same name was subsequently made into a four-part PBS series and later into a two-man off-Broadway production called FREUD’S LAST SESSION.
