S2 Ep96. The Origins of Evil Part 3. The destructiveness in the human psyche.
Manage episode 415579192 series 2433007
What is the origin of the destructiveness in humans towards the world of nature?
We examine firstly the consequences, values and paradigms of Business Civilization such as removal from nature, hyper-technological rationalism, intense consumerism, over-emphasis on science and calculation, exaggerated individualism and so on. These become more intensified in the contemporary period with huge destructive consequences. It is these traits that need to change in order to modify our destructive impact.
Secondly, we explore depth psychology, with reference to ideas of Freud, Jung, Klein and Grof. They all refer to a basic dualism in the unconscious. On the one hand great creativity, on the other an extraordinary capacity for destruction. Business Civilization needs to be "put on the couch". Unless it integrates its profound negativity it cannot last.
