Shattered Selves: Multiple Personality in a Postmodern World
In cultural arenas from academic debates to movies, postmodernist philosophy has "deconstructed" fundamental assumptions regarding history, causality, meaning, and identity. In their critique of modern ideology, such postmodernist thinkers as Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, and Robert Stam go so far as to deny the self an integral being. There can be no single personality, they argue, only a radical multiplicity of selves, the pe…

Psychotic Group Text: A Psychoanalytic Inquiry Into the Production of Moral Conscience
This essay analyzes the psychological dynamic of disintegration anxiety by examining its presence in the tradition of political theory, its role in the development of group norms, and its impact on ideology. The author contends that whereas psychosis in individuals constrains and isolates them, in group settings psychotic behavior unites and energizes its members, relieving the collective of its anxieties. In looking at Nazi Germany, the author d…

Jewish Resistance During the Holocaust: Moral Uses of Violence and Will
It is a common belief that Jews did nothing to resist their own fate in the Holocaust. However, the realities of disintegrating physical and psychological conditions, and the efforts of ghetto undergr
Two Models of Political Organization: Collaboration Versus Resistance
This article explores some of the psychological and material conditions motivating Jewish resistance during the Holocaust. The author looks at the underground movement in Vilna and the partisan movements in the Russian forests, with specific attention to Tuvia Bielski's family camp of more than 1,200 Jews and the reasons behind its very high survivor rate (95%). The article also examines the relationship between identity and violence, the resurre…
Against the Indifference Hypothesis: The Holocaust and the Enthusiasts for Murder
This essay takes issue with what is known as the “indifference” hypothesis regarding the murder of Jews during the Holocaust. The Germans' fear of typhus, their perception of the Jew as poisonous, biological matter, “life unworthy of life,” created a group state of mind in which many individual Germans, particularly those in the professions, enthusiastically participated in the logistics, machinery, ideology and legitimation of mass murder
The Political Psyche
Multiplicity, Identity and the Horrors of Selfhood: Failures in the Postmodern Position
This article looks at certain psychological problems in the post modern theory of self; specifically the concept of multiplicity and how that concept is to be understood. Considerable attention is given to Jean Baudrillard's notion of multiplicity, meaning and truth; in addition the essay examines the concept of multiplicity of self through the experience of multiple personality disorder. What is it that this experience reveals about the post mod…

Notes on the Paranoid Factor in Political Philosophy: Fear, Anxiety, and Domination
The argument explores the relationship between paranoia and its presence in political philosophy. I look primarily at two arguments in the history of political ideas: Plato's Laws and Hobbes' Leviathan. Each theorist looks at political life and form in the context of what from a psychodynamic perspective would be called paranoid. Institutional recommendations stress what Plato calls watchfulness; each theoretical formulation imposes repressive ad…

Machiavelli's Prince & Alchemical Transformation: Action & the Archetype of Regeneration
The modernity of Machiavelli seems well established. However, James Glass discerns in The Prince symbol patterns that are reminiscent of the work of the alchemist with their roots in medieval thought. While not attributing to Machiavelli any conscious concern with alchemy, Glass detects traces of alchemical symbolism in Machiavelli's theoretical images. The Prince figure suggests a therapeutic power bringing about a transformation which fundament…

Consciousness and Organization: The Disintegration of Joseph K and Bob Slocum
This essay looks at the self-destructive and masochistic nature of action in organizations from the perspective of Kafka's Joseph K (The Trial) and Heller's Bob Slocum (Something Happened). Both Kafka's “Court” and Heller's “Company” impose corrosion, frenzy, and pain on awareness; and for the protagonists in these novels, the bureaucratic formations, rather than creating a healthy psychological space, contribute to a more general pathology. Furt…

Political Philosophy as Therapy: Rousseau and the Pre-Social Origins of Consciousness
The mission of the junior high school
The Junior High School has been nationally accepted as the solution of many pressing and universal educational problems. Like an educational awakening, it has spread in fifteen years through all forty-eight states. No school system, no administrator, no teacher who has caught the new vision has been the same since, provided that school system, administrator, or teacher has awakened to the mission of the Junior High School. He who is content to ap…
