The Tyranny of Reason; The Power of Your Irrationality

In this video, we look at Nietzsche and Jung's analysis of modern culture; namely, its faith in the category of reason. Is the search for objective truth enough to justify life on its own? Is there more to human existence?

The unconscious forces in human beings are probably older and just as important as our ability to think rationally. Archetypal images and stories have driven cultures for thousands of years. We live in a unique time in which these forces are being abandoned as unnecessary or undesirable. This is a grave mistake to Nietzsche and Jung, who accurately predicted that this would cause nihilism.

Happy to be back and stay tuned for more videos. Let me know what you think of this one in the comments. Subscribing and liking the video would help me out immensely.
