Discussion: Modern Man in Search of a Soul
Author: Carl Jung
Description: Carl Jung’s Modern Man in Search of a Soul explores the psychological struggles of contemporary individuals, emphasizing the need for self-awareness and spiritual fulfillment. He critiques modern rationalism, arguing that scientific progress alone cannot satisfy the human psyche. Jung discusses dream analysis, the unconscious mind, and the importance of integrating both rational and mystical elements of existence. He also contrasts Eastern and Western perspectives on the soul, advocating for individuation—a process of personal development. Ultimately, Jung highlights the necessity of meaning in human life, suggesting that reconnecting with the unconscious can lead to inner harmony.
