Jung In Contexts: A Reader

JUNG IN CONTEXTS The current interest in Jung shows no sign of abating, with international controversy surrounding the origins of analytical psychology. Jung in Contexts: A Reader is a unique collection of the most important essays on Jung and analytical psychology over the past two decades. A comprehensive introduction traces the growth and development of analytical psychology and its institutions. The nine essays which follow place Jung, the man and his work, in three important contexts: historical, literary and intellectual. In historical context, Jung’s visions during his ‘confrontation with the unconscious’, his attitude towards National Socialism and the composition of his so-called ‘autobiography’ are examined. Next, in literary context, two essays investigate Jung’s reading of E.T.A.Hoffman, and Thomas Mann’s reception of Jungian ideas. Finally, in intellectual context, Jung’s work is viewed in terms of the traditions of German and French thought from which it drew so many impulses: Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Bergson. Written by leading scholars on the history of Jungian psychology, Jung in Contexts: A Reader is an indispensable introductory text for students, both postgraduates and undergraduates, professionals and all those interested in Jung. Paul Bishop teaches German at the University of Glasgow. Following the publication of The Dionysian Self: C.G.Jung’s Reception of Friedrich Nietzsche, he has written various articles on Jung’s intellectual affinities with Weimar Classicism, German philosophy and literature, the history of Jung’s relationship with the Rascher Verlag, and the psychology of Hans Trüb. Contributors: Paul Bishop; Stanley Grossman; Pete A.Y.Gunter; John Haule; James L.Jarrett; John Kerr; Richard Noll; Sonu Shamdasani.
