In "The Undiscovered Self," C.G. Jung emphasizes that the modern State does not foster interpersonal connections or mutual understanding among individuals. Instead, it appears to promote a culture of isolation, where people become increasingly disconnected from one another. This trend leads to a fragmented society, where genuine relationships and communal ties are weakened in favor of individualism.
Jung’s critique highlights the potential dangers of this separation, suggesting that it can lead to a deeper psychological conflict within individuals. The lack of meaningful connection with others can result in a sense of alienation and loneliness, undermining the psychological well-being of society as a whole. Jung urges readers to consider the importance of fostering relationships that can counteract this isolation.
