Carl Gustav Jung – Man and His Symbols
Salepage : Carl Gustav Jung – Man and His Symbols
Man and His Symbols arose from one of Jung’s own visions. The brilliant psychologist hoped that his work might be understood by a wider audience than simply psychiatrists, so he consented to write and edit this intriguing book. Jung investigates the entire universe of the unconscious, whose language he thought to be the symbols revealed in dreams. Jung believed that self-understanding will lead to a full and fruitful existence since dreams provide practical counsel transmitted from the unconscious to the conscious self. As a result, the reader will get fresh insights about himself from this intellectual collection, which also depicts historical symbols. Jung and his collaborators finished it right before his death, and it is plainly aimed to the public reader.
Appreciation for Man and His Symbols
“This book, which was Jung’s final piece of labor before his death in 1961, presents a unique chance to assess his contribution to the life and thinking of our day, because it was also his first attempt to communicate his life-work in psychology to a non-technical public. The book makes it abundantly clear that Jung has done enormous service to both psychology as a discipline and our general knowledge of man in society by emphasizing that imaginative life must be considered seriously in its own right, as the most distinguishing feature of human beings.” —Guardian
“Easy to read and full of suggestions.”
