For Jungian analyst Gellert (Modern Mysticism: Jung, Zen and the Still Good Hand of God), America is at a fateful crossroads: will it allow the vision of its Founding Fathers "to be diffused through the cults of novelty, freedom, happiness or prosperity," or will it reconnect to its spiritual roots "moral integrity and integrity of good, balanced living" Gellert contrasts the overlapping and competing visions of Adams and Jefferson by portraying Jefferson's philosophy of freedom as the absence of restrictions by the church and state and Adams's as a reflection of "interior integrity" based on one's character and ethics. Using this analysis as a backdrop, Gellert identifies and examines a host of contemporary U.S. problems emanating from the individualistic Jeffersonian philosophy, including an "addiction to innocence" (things are the way they appear) and an "addiction to height" (a need to express heroic visions through materialistic reaches toward the heavens e.g., skyscrapers and space programs). In separate chapters, he also discusses the embrace of what he terms "cults," which results in simplistic beliefs in celebrity, religious fundamentalism along with religious mediocrity, and the valuing of individual passion ("getting high"). Lost in all this focus on the self is character, ethics, and integrity the "vision thing." A broad-ranging, cogently argued, and provocative critique that has taken on a whole new dimension since September 11. For most academic libraries and larger public libraries.
