The Informed Heart by Bruno Bettelheim
Autonomy in a Mass Age
A blend of memoir and social psychology, this work uses firsthand experiences in Nazi concentration camps to explore how individuals can preserve identity and moral autonomy under totalitarian pressures and the conformist pull of modern mass society. It argues that self-awareness and critical understanding are vital tools for resisting dehumanization, and calls for education and social institutions that foster responsibility, freedom, and humane values.
