Brilliant!!! The interviewer demonstrates how difficult it is to shift towards Hillman's approach. It is so easy to always seek a program of doing rather than changing heart and thought and trusting the action that follows. Seems to me Hillman's ideas are pointing towards a paradoxical relationship between who we are individually and how we are communally.
Agreed with Kevin's comment, this interview does show the edge that we bump into as we try to expand our understanding of our individual pains being related with the collective issues. On one level, it seems so obvious - and yet the embodiment of it requires a little bit of time to marinate with and re-digest all our individualistic programming and see how disconnected we've all become. I feel teenagers are often the ones who can most easily see the toxic world they're stepping into and their volatile and painful emotions correspond with the overwhelming task of trying to step up in responsibility into such a disconnected and strange cultural context. As adults, we all owe it to the younger generations to make whatever gradual and meaningful steps of integrity, creativity, connectivity, community and culture that come from each of our gifts.
Brilliant. Love Hillman. I recently re-watched Lord Of the Rings and just thought it would be funny if instead of the epic battle against evil, they all just went to therapists. - "Now, what comes up for you when you think of Sauron Taking over Middle Earth" ? - " See, Frodo, Your fear is a projection from trauma stuck in your body from your childhood. No need to go to Mordor, just "sit with that" and work on yourself until you are healed." -Why do you want to Kill Orcs, Gimli ? What does Killing Orcs represent inside of you? "

I literally quit being a therapist before I listened to this and Hillman pretty much summed up why I have left. Amazing

I love the title of the talk
Thats because Psychology has no model which acknowledges evil - moral insanity.
So, your environment palys a big role in your mental health.
one hundred years ago the removed the Classics which contained VIRTUE. Without learning about courage you are always sick.
What do you mean by Classics. And removed the classics from what?
