Freud concludes by summarizing the key points of his theory. He emphasizes that the death drive introduces a new dimension to psychoanalytic theory (Framework expansion), highlighting that human motivation cannot be fully understood through the pleasure principle alone. The death drive, with its focus on aggression and self-destruction, provides a more comprehensive understanding of the forces at work in human psychology.
The essay also calls for more research into these dynamics, noting that scientific progress requires evolving theories and ongoing investigation.
