Abstract

In this article we intend to approach the work written by Sigmund Freud (1939) entitled "Moses and monotheistic religion", published in the city of Amsterdam. This book consists of three previous tests between the years 1934 and 1938, studies which form part of the final stage of research, corresponding to the works of Psychoanalysis of the culture. Dislocated the article with a short introduction in the history, the life of Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), Pharaoh of the EIGHTEENTH Dynasty between the years 1350 to 1333 BC, party promoter and establisher of monotheism in ancient Egypt, to swoop right from the story of Moses, according to the analysis of Freud and his assumptions about the birth of a hero and the birth of a religion. Also used as references parts of the text of Paul Ricoeur (1990) in his book "Freud: the interpretation of culture", to complement this article. Finally we intend to leave the reader to a conclusion open getting always marked the latency periods in the history of art, religion and philosophy, in other words, periods marked "mythologically" by Eros, Thanatos and Ananke; words that can elucidate how; Love, death and Need.
