Abstract

This paper analyzes the relationship between the individual and society in the work of Hermann Hesse. Paying particular attention to Hesse's last novel, The Glass Bead Game, the author argues (a) that for Hesse "self' and "society" are dynamically intertwined and (b) that education plays a key role in linking the two together.
