Power and Innocence

In this thought-provoking audiobook, Rollo May explores the dual concepts of power and innocence, emphasizing their relevance to contemporary societal challenges. He defines power as the ability to influence change and contrasts it with innocence, which he describes as a relinquishing of power that can manifest as a societal norm. May proposes a new ethical perspective that recognizes power as a source of both good and evil, and he examines five levels of power's potential within individuals, ranging from self-affirmation to aggression and violence.
