Summary: | This essay serves as an Introduction to a future editorial project about the captive mind in terrible times. Inspired by the reading of The Captive Mind, the book by the Polish anti-communist writer Czesław Miłosz, the author explores the syndrome of the captive mind through his own life experiences in Romanian society before and after the fall of the totalitarian communist regime. Confronted, however, with post-Soviet political-military expansionism in search of a new world order, we are once again exposed to a cognitive war of conquest and manipulation of minds and, implicitly, to the captive mind syndrome. Using the therapeutic resources of self-reflexivity, the author outlines seven steps in the personal fight for clearing his mind. |
