In The Absolute Power Complex from Constantine to Stalin: The
Collective Unconscious of Catholic and Orthodox Countries Mino
Vianello advances a new hermeneutical paradigm in analyzing why
liberal-democratic institutions and ways of life do not flourish in
Catholic and Orthodox countries. Vianello maintains that the
breaking point is not the Reform, as Weber stated in the wake of de
Tocqueville, but the events of the fourth century, with the Nicene
Council, convoked by Constantine for the purely political purpose
of giving a psychological cement to the crumbling empire, and
Theodosius the Great's decision to proclaim the Trinitarian
Doctrine State Religion. These events left an indelible mark in the
collective unconscious of the peoples who happened to fall into
this mesh studded with neo-platonic philosophical categories and
legal concepts derived from Roman Law. This book demonstrates the
inception and effects of the Absolute Power Complex by linking the
theological-political construction of the Church to later absolute
regimes and twentieth century dictatorships. This distinguishes
these countries from those Christianized by Arius' followers, which
eleven centuries later became Protestant. Vianello traces the
wavering succession of philosophical and theological doctrines
which have shaken Christianity, leading to a combination of
politics and theology unknown to early Christians and the
Evangelical Message. This is the first time that Jung's concept of
the Collective Unconscious has been historically explored in terms
of political and social consequences in such an innovative and
interdisciplinary way. Although Vianello explores historical
themes, this book will be a fascinating resource for analytical
psychologists and other professionals informed by Jung's ideas. It
will also appeal to academics and students of the history of ideas,
political theory, sociology, hermeneutics, cultural studies and
other professionals interested in contemporary events.
