C. G. Jung in the Humanities

This book demonstrates for the first time the significance of Jungâs work to the humanities and to those areas where the humanities and sciences share borders. More radically it shows that Jung was a writer of myth alchemy narrative and poetics as well as on them. Jungâs core concepts are introduced their ongoing relevance is championed. The book also addresses Jungâs sometimes questionable judgment on politics and gender and previews contemporary extensions of Jungian theory. By privileging the creative psyche and exploring the connections between individual natural environment and social/psychological collective Jung anticipates the new holism offering the promise of reconciling the sciences with the arts humanity with nature. .
