This well-worn copy of “Love and Will” by the influential American existential psychologist Rollo May offers a window into the cultural zeitgeist of the 1960s. Published in 1969, at the height of the counterculture movement, May’s exploration of love, power, and human potential struck a chord with a generation seeking authenticity and self-actualization. Drawing from diverse thinkers like Nietzsche, Freud, and Camus, May’s existential approach challenged traditional psychoanalytic theories and paved the way for humanistic psychology. This copy bears the marks of its era, its creased spine and tattered edges a testament to the book’s enduring relevance and the fervent discussions it inspired among readers grappling with questions of identity, freedom, and the meaning of life. For collectors and scholars, this edition offers a tangible link to the intellectual currents that shaped the countercultural movement, making it a fascinating artifact of a pivotal moment in American cultural history.
