As much as Robert Bellah’s final work, Religion in Human Evolution, has been studied and dissected, no critic underlined the importance of psychoanalysis for its main argument and its theoretical framework. The paper shows the influence exerted by a controversial interpreter of Freud, Norman O. Brown, on Bellah’s ideas, intellectual profile, and writing style in the late‐1960s and early 1970s. While in search for a new intellectual voice, Bellah was struck by Brown’s work and began to make intensive use of his book, Love’s Body, both in his teaching and in his research of the early 1970s, during his so‐called “symbolic realism” period. While Bellah abandoned Brown’s ideas and style in the mid‐1970s, some of the basic intuitions he had during that period still survived as one of the major theoretical intuitions of Religion and Human Evolution.

压抑的回报。关于罗伯特·N·贝拉，诺曼·布朗和人类进化中的宗教。

尽管对罗伯特·贝拉（Robert Bellah）的最后著作《人类进化中的宗教》进行了研究和剖析，但没有评论家强调精神分析对其主要论点和理论框架的重要性。本文展示了弗洛伊德颇具争议的翻译家诺曼·布朗（Norman O. Brown）在1960年代末和1970年代初对贝拉的思想，知识分子和写作风格的影响。在寻找新的知识分子声音时，贝拉对布朗的著作感到震惊，并开始大量使用他的著作《爱的身体》。在他所谓的“符号现实主义”时期，无论是在他的教学还是在1970年代初期的研究中。贝拉（Bellah）在1970年代中期放弃了布朗的思想和风格，但他在那段时期所拥有的一些基本直觉仍然幸存下来，成为宗教与人类进化的主要理论直觉之一。
