Every technological advance enhances our mastery over nature. Simultaneously, it makes it more difficult for us to comprehend the complex network of forces that govern our lives. Ironically,
with many more resources at our command, we have much less control over our own lives. Therefore it is not surprising that the inner landscape of the modern man has become almost identical to
the Child Man who feels strong and powerful on one hand, and fragile and vulnerable on the other.
The imperatives of living in a market centric global village create their own compulsions and inhibitions. Thus, while the Child Man is being continually awakened within the modern man's
psyche, the external world makes him suppress this part. Caught in this dynamic, the only abode, which the child Man can find in the present day world, is in our psychic and social
underbelly.
This book attempts to revisit the Child Man so that we can experience him as a human phenomenon rather than as an untouchable part of us.
