I SHOULDN'T THINK I WAS INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS SPECIAL issue in order to write about the concept of heroism in antiquity, or C. G. Jung's for that matter, let alone analyze the theme of heroism as treated in the speeches of George W. Bush or his intellectual opponent, Noam Chomsky. What is expected of me, more likely, is to help develop an understanding of how courage and heroism were perceived by the citizens of those states of a central and eastern Europe that is now described as post-Communist. I am not sure whether I am to deal with the state of mind prior to the revolution of 1989 or up to the present. There is a notable lack of data for the latter.
