In his Preface Freud tells us that his first stimulus for writing
these essays came from the works of Wundt and Jung.Actually,
of course, his interest in social anthropology went back much
further. In the Fliess correspondence (1950a), apart from
general allusions to his long-standing devotion to the study of
archaeology and prehistory, there are a number of specific
references to anthropological topics and to the light which
psycho-analysis throws upon them. For instance, in Draft N
(May 31, 1897) in discussing the 'horror of incest' he touched
upon the relation between the growth of civilization and the
suppression of the instincts-a subject to which he returned in
his paper on '"Civilized" Sexual Ethics' (1908d) and, much
later, in Civilization and its Discontents (1930a). Again, in Letter
78 (Dec. 12, 1897) he writes: 'Can you imagine what "endo
psychic myths" are? They are the latest offspring of my mental
labours. The dim inner perception of one's own psychical
apparatus stimulates illusions of thought, which are naturally
projected outwards and characteristically into the future and
the world beyond. Immortality: retribution, life after death,
are all reflections of our inner psyche ... psycho-mythology.'
And, in Letter 144 (July 4, 1901): 'Have you read that the
English have excavated an old palace in Crete (Knossos) which
they declare is the authentic labyrinth of Minos? Zeus seems
originally to have been a bull. It seems, too, that our own old
God, before the sublimation instigated by the Persians took
EDITOR'S NOTE xi
place, was also worshipped as a bull. That provides food for all
sorts of thoughts which it is not yet time to set down on paper.'
Lastly it is worth mentioning a short passage in a footnote to
the first edition of The Interpretation of Dreams (1900a), near the
end of Section B of Chap. V, Standard Ed., 4, 217n., which
adumbrates the derivation of the monarchy from the social
position of the father of the family.
But the major elements of Freud's contribution to social
anthropology made their first appearance in this work, and
more especially in the fourth essay, which contains his hypo
thesis of the primal horde and the killing of the primal father
and elaborates his theory tracing from them the origins of
almost the whole of later social and cultural institutions. Freud
himself had a very high opinion of this last essay both as regards
its content and its form. He told his present translator, prob
ably in 1921, that he regarded it as his best-written work.
Nevertheless, Dr. Ernest Jones informs us that as late as the
middle of June 1913, when the essay was already in proof and
after he had presented it before the Vienna Psycho-Analytical
Society, he was still expressing doubts and hesitations about
publishing it. These doubts were soon removed, however, and
the book remained a favourite all through his life and he con
stantly recurred to it. For instance, he summarized and dis
cussed it with particular care in the sixth chapter of his Auto
biographical Study ( 1925d), and he quoted it many times in his
last published volume, Moses and Monotheism (1939a).
About the actual composition of these essays we have a good
deal of information, details of which will be found in the second
volume of Dr. ErnestJones's biography of Freud. He had begun
his preparations for the work, and in particular his reading of a
large amount of literature on the subject, as early as in 1910.
The title 'Totem and Taboo' was evidently already in his mind
in August, 1911, though he did not finally adopt it till the essays
were collected in volume form. The first essay was finished in
mid-January, 1912. It was published in Imago in the following
March, and was shortly afterwards reprinted, with some small
omissions, in the Vienna weekly journal Pan (April 11 and
18, 1912) and in the Vienna daily paper Neues Wiener Journal
(April 18). The second essay was given before the Vienna
xii TOTEM AND TABOO
Psycho-Analytical Society on May 15, 1912, in a talk which
lasted for three hours. The third was prepared during the
autumn ofl 912 and given before the Vienna Society onJanuary
15, 1913. The fourth was finished on May 12, 1913, and given
before the Vienna Society on June 4, 1913.
Totem and Taboo was translated into several languages besides
English during Freud's lifetime: into Hungarian (1919),
Spanish (1923), Portuguese (n.d.), French (1924), Japanese
(twice, 1930 and 1934), and Hebrew (1939). For the last of
these, as will be seen below (p. xv), he wrote a special
preface.
PREFACE
THE four essays that follow were originally published (under a
heading which serves as the present book's sub-title) in the first
two volumes of Imago, a periodical issued under my direction.
They represent a first attempt on my part at applying the point
of view and the findings of psycho-analysis to some unsolved
problems of social psychology [Volkerpsychologie]. Thus they offer
a methodological contrast on the one hand to Wilhelm Wundt's
extensive work, which applies the hyp otheses and working
methods of non-analytic psychology to the same purposes, and
on the other hand to the writings of the Zurich school of psycho
analysis, which endeavour, on the contrary, to solve the prob
lems of individual psychology with the help of material derived
from social psychology. (C£ Jung, 1912 and 1913.) I readily
confess that it was from these two sources that I received the
first stimulus for my own essays.
I am fully conscious of the deficiencies of these studies. I
need not mention those which are necessarily characteristic of
pioneering work; but others require a word of explanation. The
four essays collected in these pages aim at arousing the interest
of a fairly wide circle of educated readers, but they cannot in
fact be understood and appreciated except by those few who
are no longer strangers to the essential nature of psycho-analy
sis. They seek to bridge the gap between students of such sub
jects as social anthropology, philology and folklore on the one
hand, and psycho-analysts on the other. Yet they cannot offer
to either side what each lacks-to the former an adequate
initiation into the new psychological technique or to the latter a
sufficient grasp of the material that awaits treatment. They
must therefore rest content with attracting the attention of the
two parties and with encouraging a belief that occasional
co-operation between them could not fail to be of benefit to
research.
It will be found that the two principal themes from which the
title of this little book is derived-totems and taboos-have not
received the same treatment. The analysis of taboos is put
S.F. XIII-B xiii
-
xiv PREFACE
forward as an assured and exhaustive attempt at the solution of
the problem. The investigation of totemism does no more than
declare that 'here is what psycho-analysis can at the moment
contribute towards elucidating the problem of the totem'. The
difference is related to the fact that taboos still exist among us.
Though expressed in a negative form and directed towards
another subject-matter, they do not differ in their psychological
nature from Kant's 'categorical imperative', which operates in
a compulsive fashion and rejects any conscious motives. Totem
ism, on the contrary, is something alien to our contemporary
feelings-a religio-social institution which has been long aban
doned as an actuality and replaced by newer forms. It has left
only the slightest traces behind it in the religions, manners and
customs of the civilized peoples of to-day and has been subject
to far-reaching modifications even among the races over which
it still holds sway. The social and technical advances in human
history have affected taboos far less than the totem.
An attempt is made in this volume to deduce the original mean
ing of totemism from the vestiges remaining of it in childhood
from the hints of it which emerge in the course of the growth of
our own children. The close connection between totems and
taboos carries us a step further along the path towards the hypo
thesis presented in these pages; and if in the end that hypo
thesis bears a highly improbable appearance, that need be no
argument against the possibility of its approximating more or
less closely to the reality which it is so hard to reconstruct.
