Summary/Abstract: This article, based on the detailed analysis of Freud’s essay, Beyond the Pleasure Principle, explores philosophical questions about life and death, pleasure and pain. Moreover, his essay can be considered a rediscovery of significant themes and concepts whose primary aim is to influence a contemporary understanding of Psychoanalysis. The reason why I have chosen this topic is due to the fact that Sigmund Freud, one of the greatest theorists in history, is generally known as the father of psychoanalysis. He wrote Beyond the Pleasure Principle at the age of sixty – four, during a time when psychoanalysis had already gained meaningful popularity.
