Description
Immanuel Velikovsky's Mankind in Amnesia is a profound exploration of humanity's collective psyche. As a psychologist and psychoanalytical therapist, Velikovsky delves into the foundations of various psychoanalytical systems to better understand crowd psychology. He reexamines his own theories, including Worlds in Collision, from a new perspective, revealing how reactions to these ideas have been both inevitable and understandable from a psychological standpoint. Through a journey through history, religion, mythology, and art, Velikovsky uncovers the underlying trauma that shapes our understanding of the world. This insightful work offers a message of urgent importance for the future, one that challenges readers to reevaluate their assumptions about human nature. By reclassifying the theories of Sigmund Freud and C.G. Jung, Velikovsky reveals a common basis for these influential ideas. Mankind in Amnesia is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, one that invites readers to consider the psychological forces that shape our world.
