The article focuses on man understood as a being that exists in the imaginary order and displays the ability to create images. One of the these images is the ego construct which will be revisioned in the perspective of the critical psychology of Kurt Danziger and the imaginal psychology/soul paradigm (soul movement) of James Hillman. The critical analysis points out a specific reduction of human nature and human history in contemporary psychology to the history of “self” and domination of “ego”. The conception of Hillman, by contrast, is characterized by the mission for deegoization, therefore strips the power away from this fictitious concept in favor of a realistically existing soul which not only can exceed the ego, but also a personality, or even the whole human being because it contains a variety of images. Hillman believes, following Plato, in the existence of anima mundi, an ensouled world, which is wide and more primal than the ego, but also a human soul, because the soul is a part of it. In accordance with this perspective, the role of a parent and teacher in the process of education is deegoization as a condition for the soul-making of a child.
