"The author presents in his new book a challenging theory of the psycho-sociological foundation of societal life. It is his conviction that the pattern of thought, which we call superstitious or magical, plays not only a retarding role in history, it is at the same time the indispensable motor of society. Magical thinking is directed by the medicine man today, just as it was ten thousand years ago. It is the mission of the medicine men to create the faith in the "political truth." Applying his findings to our pressing socio-political problems, the author comes to the conclusion, that, unfortunately, we do not have a great fascinating magic strong enough for our gigantic tasks. It is his hope that our religious and secular philosophers will be able to create a new faith, a "Mythos of the American Century," that will outstrip our dangerous competitors, the Communist medicine men. All those who are interested in our national future will find here some ideas outside the trodden path of our conventional philosophies worth pondering over"--Cover.
