Ismieva, V.M. Archetype of a social hero in the philosophy of Jung.

Abstract: Comparing different politicians, discussing their role in history, we often see the general line, which seems to guide them. It sometimes seems to us that the leaders blindly follow their destiny, and it seems that we can identify the mistakes of the leaders, which tried to avoid the stereotype. As Jung noted, one cannot lead the masses without relating to the specifics of a social hero’s life. But why did this topic regain importance now?
