Understanding the Sickness of the Soul

According to ancient philosophers like Plato, the soul sickness that afflicts humans is a result of our disconnection from the invisible and dynamic soul world. This disconnection has come about as materialist and reductionist worldviews have gained prominence, leaving us with a wealth of data but impoverished in soul. Psychologists like Carl Jung and James Hillman recognized this soul sickness and emphasized the need to put the soul back into psyche in order to find purpose and free ourselves from psychical demons. By harmonizing the three parts of the soul - Eros, Thymos, and Logos - as described by Plato, we can strive towards justice, align with the highest part of our soul, and approach a divine mind.
