Some researchers want to preserve their privacy. I can't blame them; I only use my real name here because I have to. Otherwise I'd prefer to remain more anonymous. It's the information that's important, not the researcher, especially if they provide footnotes (which the articles have - apparently the book doesn't).
Yep, I do understand that Tracy, about anonymity.
On the other hand it is an excellent screen to hide behind too.
I'm always willing to stand corrected.
But I feel certain, in my own mind, that this cloaked author is not going to be the one to elicit that correction from me.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
