By drawing on the opposing ideas of Carl Jung and Karl Marx, James
Driscoll's develops fresh perspectives on urgent contemporary
problems. Jung and Marx as thinkers, Driscoll contends, carry the
projections of archetypal complexes that go back to the hostile Old
Testament brothers Cain and Abel, whose enduring tensions shape our
postmodern era. Because Marxism elevates the group over the
individual, it is made to order for bureaucrats and bureaucracy's
patron archetype, Leviathan. Jungian individuation offers a
corrective rooted in the Judeo-Christian ethic's affirmation of the
ultimate value of free individuals. Although Marxism's promise of
justice gives it demagogic appeal, the party betrays that promise
through opportunism and a primitive ethic of retribution. Marxism's
supplanting the Judeo-Christian ethic with bureaucracy's "only
following orders," Driscoll maintains, has created the moral
paralysis of our time. As Jung and writers like Hannah Arendt,
George Orwell, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and Elias Canetti have
warned us, the influence of our ever-expanding bureaucracies is a
grave threat to the survival of civilized humanity. The primary
issues Driscoll addresses include the natures of justice and the
soul, individuation and freedom, and mankind's responsibilities
within the planetary ecology. Religion, ethics, economics, science,
class divisions, immigration, financial fraud, abortion, and
affirmative action are also explored in his analysis of the
powerful archetypes moving behind Jung and Marx.
