According to Freud, which of the agencies is our sense of morality?
While the emergence of a superego is, according to Freud, bound up with the dynamics of sexual desire in general and the oedipal complex in particular, in the end it is the relational properties and not the content of the superego - specifically, its historical relations to other people and its ongoing relations to the ego - that make it a superego and make it the agency of morality. Thanks 4 asking ChaCha!
