Collective wine. How the Germans lived after the war. Yaspers K., Jung K.

Many scientists left Germany with the advent of the “brown plague”. They cursed and forgot the country that literally threw them into the trash of history, but not Karl Yaspers, who decided to go through this test with his people. He cursed Germany in 1945.

in 1937, he was shameful with a shame for the rank of professor for sympathy for the Jews, and then former colleagues began to poison the professor. The scientist did not want to leave the country even then. He wrote “on the table” for eight years and lived under the daily threat of arrest. In 1945, everything changed, the shackles of fascism fell. Yaspers thought that now everyone who collaborated with the regime would go to a landfill of the story on which he spent a long eight years, but having come to the university, he met the same people who organized injuries on him. It seemed that everyone had forgotten about the past. The scientist could not survive this shame, he cursed Germany and left the country. He never again stepped on German land, and the main work of the philosopher became the result of his disappointment: “The question of guilt”, in this essay he first substantiated and formulated the concept of “collective guilt”.

This work was the beginning of a large process of understanding the phenomenon of fascism, it was she, as well as a series of essays and interviews of Karl Jung and Sigmund Freud, who tried to comprehend the question of guilt from the perspective of analytical psychology, and compiled this book.
