David Robinson's new book is unique in that it provides an extended critical exposition of Jung's moral psychology and a comparative analysis of his theory of conscience in particular. The author corrects this absence by providing a fresh and original reading of Jung. In contrast to simplistic stereotypes, he demonstrates that moral struggle--with all of its relational, behavioral, and spiritual implications--is at the heart of his psychology. 
The concept of conscience serves as the locus of this apologetic for his contemporary significance. Further, this book offers a positive theory for identifying and describing the primary sources of contemporary moral nihilism, namely, reductive naturalism (scientism) and epistological relativism (perspectivalism). The logic and root assumptions of these theoretical viewpoints are then engaged and qualified--if not refuted--through an extended, comparative discussion of the theories of Freud and Nietzsche with those of Jung.

Playwright and novelist Christoph Hein, who enjoyed tremendous popularity in both Germanies during the 1980s, remains the East's most successful post-unification writer. Critical both of Soviet-style communism and Western consumer capitalism, Hein chose to remain in East Germany and work toward the liberalization of the communist system. Although his pre-1990 works implicitly reject the skewed reality promoted by the regime, his methods appear at first glance to be totally apolitical: he tells the material truth as he sees it, describing characters and their social settings and allowing these things to speak for themselves. This sort of honesty would seem to be nothing remarkable; yet it proved fatal to the state's rhetoric of progress, personal fulfillment, and moral superiority to the West. Today, Hein uses the same literary tools with which he once deconstructed communist rhetoric to attack the complacency of unchecked capitalism. Robinson concentrates on Hein's prose fiction rather than his dramas, since, among other reasons, his plays are little known in the U.S. and U.K., while his novels and many novellas have been translated into English and have brought him a measure of fame in the English-speaking world.
