To the process of bringing us nearer to a community of fundamental human aims and values the author considers that psychoanalysis (and in particular the discoveries of Melanie Klein and her school) has a large contribution to make; and he examines this contribution in detail in the special fields of politics, ethics and aesthetics. As applied to politics his main thesis is that while much conflict in this world reflects an ineradicable incompatibility of interest, far more results from certain interrelated delusions which people have, on the one hand, about the character and situation of themselves, their own parties, classes or nations, on the other about those of their neighbours and of allied or opposing parties, classes or nations. In the exposure and removal of such delusions lies the best hope of achieving more of the harmony we both con-sciouslv and unconsciously desire. Readers of Psychoanalysis and Politics (1951) will be already familiar with some of these ideas, which are further elaborated here with a sober optimism encouraging to anyone concerned about the future of mankind. |
