The great man knows when and where he is small. The little man does not know that he is small and is afraid to find out.
The psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich saw within the everyday person - the one we label as average, common opinion - the remnants of fascist ideology and totalitarianism.
The person who is oppressed, who does not take responsibility, who does not judge the wrongs, who does not participate in collectives can behave even more harshly and abuse power when they gain strength.
The author who was hunted and imprisoned for his ideas critiques the average neurotic person for the smallness and passivity with which they handle all critical human issues in this book.
In the book you will meet
- The human weakness in the face of fascist ideologies.
- The internal conflict of the individual with themselves and society.
- The relationship of the individual with authority and their personal value.
Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957) was a radical psychoanalyst and a student of Freud, who extended his ideas from psychoanalysis to politics and sociology. He was born in Galicia and served in World War I before studying medicine. He developed his own theories on "neurosis" and "orgone," a form of bioenergy. Due to his unconventional ideas and political activism, he was forced to wander through Europe and eventually settled in the United States. He clashed with the authorities and the pharmaceutical industry, resulting in his imprisonment and death in a federal penitentiary. Many of his ideas, such as the right to sexual freedom, are now widely recognized.
