DESPITE the huge influence of Freudian psychoanalysis on the development of the modern world, particularly in light of the control-mechanisms that helped facilitate the rise of capitalism during the twentieth century, Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) - with whom Freud had a number of disagreements - went on to make his own name in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, philosophy and spirituality. Influenced by his Swiss upbringing, which had taken place at the heart of an intellectual stream of theology and occultism, Jung developed a broad and enduring interest in vitalism, quantum physics, philosophy, alchemy, astrology, sociology, literature and the arts. Although he is often described as a 'mystic,' Jung's rigorous scientific approach led to the formulation of an original theory of analytical psychology. Among his many theories, one find the concepts of the persona, the anima and animus, synchronicity, the universal archetypes and archetypal images, the collective unconscious and the psychological types. In this captivating new work, a group of respected writers and thinkers explore the meaning of Jung's work in a number of fascinating contexts. Chapters include: + Carl Jung Against the Modern World: The Unconscious and the Fallacy of 'Progress' + The Spirit of Abraxas: Jung as He Appears Alongside Hermann Hesse in the Memoirs of Miguel Serrano + Jung and Wotan + Transcending Victimhood: Jungian Perspectives + The Reluctant Occultist: Carl Jung and the Esoteric Tradition + Jungian Dreamscapes; The Influence of Mythology and Archetypes in Carl Jung's Analytical Psychology + The Mind of a Child: A Curious Interlude + Carl Jung's Synchronicity + Initiatory Path of a Teutonic Shaman: Jungian Lessons of Archetypes, Ancestral Memory and Indigeny + Jung and Corbin: Wayfarers of the Active Imagination + Significant Coincidences: Jung, the I Ching and Synchronicity + Carl Gustav Jung: The Shadow and Gnosis + Carl Gustav Jung: Travel Notes to the Abyss + In the Realms of the Unconscious: Fernando Pessoa and Carl Gustav Jung.
