>>25231994>The first task, on approaching such a mobile model of the living psyche as Carl G. Jung's, must be to become familiar as quickly as possible with its variables. To this end I have opened this anthology with papers introducing the elementary terms and themes of Jung's psychology. Once acquainted with these, the reader will be prepared to range at will through The Collected Works; and my second aim, consequently, has been to provide a usable guide to that treasury of learning.>My final aim, accordingly, has been to provide such a primer and handbook to Jung's writings that if a reader will proceed faithfully from the first page to the last, he will emerge not only with a substantial understanding of Analytical Psychology, but also with a new realization of the relevance of the mythic lore of all peoples to his own psychological opus magnum of Individuation.
>>25232003>>25232783Great book but only the first 1/4 is by Jung himself and the rest isn't as good. The Undiscovered Self/Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams imo is a better starting package since the latter part contains most of what's in Man and His Symbols anyway
>>25231994read the campbell anthology. all primary sources no nonsense just the significant excerpts. there is always plenty of valuable digression >>25232003certainly not this, it catered to drugged out hippies
>>25233187>it catered to drugged out hippiesJung's entire bibliography did that, retard.
Anthony Stevens - On Jung. He has a mistaken purely biological reading but otherwise it's the best intro I've found in terms of easing you in.
you begin in the deep end and work your way back to the shore
>>25231994i read "modern man in search of soul" and i was impressed with it and i feel i understand what his "point" is. i enjoyed the story of him telling an african what a "tradition" was, and asking if the man practiced and any such thing. the man said no. not long after, jung saw the man spit in his hands, blow on them, and hold them up to the sun. in fairness to the man it was jung that explained the idea to him.personally i am reminded of an incident related to me by a man married to an arabian woman. it is haram to have superstitions, and one does not play music in the bathroom so as not to arouse the anger of a djinn.i am told that jung's great work is his red book. i haven't read it, but i bought it for my brother who majored in psych, he never read it and when he moved out he left the copy behind.
