C.G. Jung in the Humanities: Taking the Soul's Path

by Susan Rowland

C. G. Jung in the Humanities offers for the first time a comprehensive analysis of the significance of Swiss psychiatrist C.G. Jung's work to the humanities. By penetrating the secrets of the creative psyche and exploring how the individual fits into the social and psychological collective, Jung’s work offers valuable contributions to cultural theory, literature, film and the arts, history, mythology, gender, politics, religious studies and even to the complex areas where the humanities and sciences border one another. As a writer of myth, alchemy, symbolism, narrative and poetics as well as on them, Jung proves a forerunner of the new holism reflected in complexity theory and emergence theory, and offers the promise of reconciling the sciences with the arts, of man with nature.

Reviews

[Priscilla · Rating 3 out of 5]

The value of this book is that it is helpful for anyone new to Jung or just needs a refresher. It is not an objective overview. Rather, it speaks to current trends in post-Jungian studies. This does not diminish the book's value;;only adds to the conversation.
