2011 Reprint of 1938 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Alfred
Adler (1870-1937) was an Austrian medical doctor, psychotherapist,
and founder of the Adlerian school of individual psychology. In
collaboration with Sigmund Freud and a small group of Freud's
colleagues, Adler was among the co-founders of the psychoanalytic
movement and a core member of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society. He
was the first major figure to break away from psychoanalysis to
form an independent school of psychotherapy and personality theory.
In this late work, "Social Interest: A Challenge to Mankind," Adler
turns to the subject of metaphysics. He argues his vision of
society: "Social feeling means above all a struggle for a communal
form that must be thought of as eternally applicable... when
humanity has attained its goal of perfection... an ideal society
amongst all mankind, the ultimate fulfillment of evolution." This
social feeling for Adler is a community feeling whereby one feels
he or she belongs with others and has also developed an ecological
connection with nature (plants, animals, the crust of this earth)
and the cosmos as a whole.
