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

by Armand M. Nicholi Jr.

Of course we can never really answer the question of whether God exists. And of course it would have been highly unlikely for Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis to discuss this question in person, considering that they were born in different countries and a generation apart.

“I like this book.This book is a comparison between thoughts of C.S lewis and Sigmund freud.If we view how psychology of two was different and have completely opposite views on subject of love, sex, life. It is interesting how people can fall into categories of haveing optimistic ,positive view of life and on the other hand developing dark,pessimistic view of life emerging from belief and unbelief.”

“Although there were some interesting facts in this book, I felt the argument was very one-sided. The book is supposed to be about a supposed discussion b/t Freud & C.S. Lewis, but the author obviously sides w/ Lewis. Don't get me wrong - I side w/ Lewis as well, but if a person is to write a book about 2 people like that, he should stay neutral. Instead, he makes Freud sound very ignorant & uninformed. I was expecting something more leveled.”
