Summary/Abstract: The article reflects on the topicality of critical remarks towards society contained in Hermann Hesse's novel The Glass Bead Game, and above all in relation to the need to rebuild culture through human (self-)development. It is proved that the fate of the novel's main character, Joseph Knecht, abolishes the primacy of reason over emotion and manifests the unity of both properties of the human race.
