THE UNDISCOVERED SELF
Argues that civilization’s future depends on
our ability as individuals to resist the collective forces of society. Only by gaining an
awareness and understanding of one’s unconscious mind and true, inner nature—“the
undiscovered self”—can we as individuals
acquire the self-knowledge that is antithetical
to ideological fanaticism.
