<b>Jungian analysts Vlado Šolc and George J. Didier set out to explore the psychological dynamics and causes of religious fundamentalism and fanaticism. The book offers an in-depth-psychological analysis of what happens when a person becomes possessed by the unconscious energies of the Self.</b>
<b><i>Dark Religion</b></i> also reveals that spirituality is an inherent dimension of human life and one of its most essential needs. It only becomes “dark” when it denies, ignores, or separates itself from its vital roots.
The authors coin the term “dark religion” to describe all forms of fanatical, radical and extreme religions. Their study shows how dark religion leads to profound conflicts on both the personal and cultural level—including terrorism and wars.
<Dark Religion> surveys the vast contemporary cultural and religious landscapes. All the while discovering the emergent forms of spiritual praxis in light of postmodernism and the rise of fundamentalism in the new millennium.
Review
“A careful and thoughtful psychological reflection on one of the burning issues of our times—radical fundamentalism. Šolc and Didier offer both trenchant analysis and potential solutions for this central dilemma of postmodernity.”
Murray Stein, Ph.D., author of Outside, Inside and All Around.
