Description:
The modern world has witnessed a dramatic breakthrough of the dark, negative forces of human nature. The "**old ethic**," which pursued an illusory perfection by **repressing** the *dark side*, has lost its power to deal with contemporary problems. Erich Neumann was convinced that the deadliest peril now confronting humanity lay in the ***"scapegoat" psychology*** associated with the old ethic. We are in the grip of this psychology when **we project our own dark shadow** onto an individual or group identified as our "enemy," **failing to see it in ourselves**. The only effective alternative to this dangerous shadow projection is **shadow recognition**, acknowledgement, and integration into the totality of the self. **Wholeness**, *not perfection*, is the goal of the new ethic. Jordan B. Peterson: Erich Neumann is the most well-regarded student, analyst & distiller of Carl Jung's work.
