Review of Metaphysics 11 (2):354-354 (1957)

Abstract

In part I the urge to self-and-other-defeat is analyzed in terms of clinical data, the concept of Satan, and the philosophy of Nietzsche. In part II all three of these aspects are set in the context of a penetrating psychological analysis of the mechanisms involved in the urge to mass destruction. Though the treatment is imaginative, the interpretation of Nietzsche is almost entirely unsympathetic. -- D. R.
