It is the face of his own evil shadow that grins at Western man from the other side of the Iron curtain.
The quote by C.G. Jung highlights the psychological struggle of individuals in the West, confronting the darker aspects of their own nature as reflected in the political and ideological divide symbolized by the Iron Curtain. Jung suggests that this division is not merely a political one but also represents internal conflicts within the psyche of Western man.
By portraying the "evil shadow," Jung points out that the issues faced by Western societies can be seen as manifestations of deeper, unresolved personal and collective fears. Acknowledging this shadow is essential for understanding oneself and for fostering a more integrated worldview, thereby moving beyond superficial judgments of the other side.
