GDuperreault, December 2, 2011 (view all comments by GDuperreault)
A fascinating book EDITED by Carl Jung, who contributed the first chapter/essay, 'Approaching the Unconscious'. This was, in fact, Jung's last work before his death, written and edited with the explicit purpose of being accessible to the well read non-professional. He excellent describes the difference between symbols and signs, and why symbols are important. This book succeeds in expanding one's understanding of psychology, mythology, history, art, science, and human potential. This is an important book for anyone interested in exploring the meaning of being human. The many illustrations do an excellent job of reinforcing the legitimacy of the ideas presented. The other contributors are: Joseph L. Henderson - 'Ancient Myths and Modern Man'; Marie-Louise von Franz - 'The Process of Individuation' and 'Science and the Unconscious'; Aniela Jaffé - 'Symbolism in the Visual Arts'; Jolande Jacobi -'Symbolism in an Individual Analysis'.
