Man and His SymbolsDoubleday, 1964 - 320 Seiten "The first and only work in which Carl G. Jung, the world famous Swiss psychologist, explains to the general reader his greatest contribution to our knowledge of the human mind: the theory of the importance of symbolism--particularly as revealed in dreams. But for a dream, this book would never have been written. That dream -- described by John Freeman in the foreword--convinced Jung that he could, indeed should, explain his ideas to those who have no special knowledge of psychology. At the age of eighty-three, Jung worked out the complete plan for this book, including the sections he wish his four closest associates to write. He devoted the closing months of his life to editing the work and writing his own key section, which he completed only ten days before his death. Throughout the book, Jung emphasizes that man can achieve wholeness only through knowledge and acceptance of the unconscious--a knowledge acquired through dreams and their symbols. Every dream is a direct, personal, and meaningful connection to the dreamer--a communication that uses the symbols common to all mankind but uses them always in an entirely individual way, which can be interpreted only by an entirely individual 'key.' More than 500 illustrations complete the text and provide a unique 'running commentary' on Jung's thought. They show the nature and function of dreams; explore the symbolic meaning of modern art; and reveal the psychological meanings of the ordinary experiences of everyday life. They are reinforcement to Jung's thought and an integral part of Man and His Symbols." -- Provided by publisher |
