Editor's Note:
Bas Heijne (schrijver, essayist, columnist voor NRC Handelsblad en voormalig presentator van Zomergasten) legt in Onbehagen onze beschaving op de sofa en werpt, met Sigmund Freud in het achterhoofd, een ontluisterend nieuw licht op de huishouding van onze lusten. Freud benoemde het evenwicht tussen het lustprincipe en het realiteitsprincipe: directe behoeftebevrediging versus remmende culturele mores. Alleen: de cultuur in onze tijd lijkt juist vooral gericht op onmiddellijke individuele behoeftebevrediging. Zijn we daarmee onze realiteitszin verloren?
