Présentation de l'éditeur
Stressing the positive, creative aspects of power and innocence, Rollo May offers a way of thinking about the problems of contemporary society.
Rollo May defines power as the ability to cause or prevent change; innocence, on the other hand, is the conscious divesting of one's power to make it seem a virtuea form of powerlessness that Dr. May sees as particularly American in nature. From these basic concepts he suggests a new ethic that sees power as the basis for both human goodness and evil.Dr. May discusses five levels of power's potential in each of us: the infant's power to be; self-affirmation, the ability to survive with self-esteem; self-assertion, which develops when self-affirmation is blocked; aggression, a reaction to thwarted assertion; and, finally, violence, when reason and persuasion are ineffective.

[0-440-57023-9] 1981. (Trade paperback) Very good plus. 283pp. There is a previous owner's name on the first page and the title page and there is a tiny tear to the back cover edge. "In this probing exploration, Rollo May argues that powerlessness is just as corrupting as is power: when people feel impotent they are likely to become either violent or sick. This, says Dr. May, lies at the root of the rise of violence in our society. We have made a virtue of powerlessness or a psuedo-innocence, he says, because we have been in the habit of thinking of power in only its negative forms".
