The article was written by Umberto Gallimberti after James Hillman' death. He was a psychoanalyst who adopted a different approach in respect to the traditional ones. The key ideas of his thought are archetype and soul: archetypes are the deepest modules of the way our psyche works while soul is something that can not be defined in concrete way.An other important concept is soul that imply a silent dialogue with ourself, it is not definable is concrete terms.
The idea of archetypes permeates the culture of modernist novelists like Virginia Wolf. Furthermore, the famous post-modernist text "The Hours" is based on an intertextual approach with a very famous book by Virginia Wolf.
In the '60 there was a philosophical debate between USA Berkley University and The Sorbonne university about this question "who or what give authority to someone?". Intellectuals agree that what makes someone authority is not the higher position but the recognition of is importance for a social group.
