In his last years, Otto Rank turned his lifetime of thought and
learning toward two of the most difficult topics in human history:
religion and the soul. The result was this now-classic work,
available in this new, very accessible English translation. Unlike
many other intellectuals of the twentieth century, Rank maintains a
place for the soul rather than dismissing it as a fantasy. The soul
and the beliefs about it, he argues, set forth the foundation for
psychology, with its complex analyses of consciousness,
self-consciousness, and personality. Rank's commentary is not
limited to beliefs about individual souls but includes ideas about
group souls, sometimes encompassing nations or generations. Rank
suggests that it is in expression of group beliefs that the idea of
the soul attains its greatest power.
