Leaders as Vessels of Collective Consciousness
This chapter examines the intricate tie between powerful leaders and the collective unconscious of their people, suggesting that these figures embody national identity rather than individual aspirations. It critiques conventional views of historical figures like Hitler, arguing that their actions stem from broader societal sentiments. The discussion also addresses the philosophical implications of political power, exploring the relationship between collective experiences, historical narratives, and individual agency.
