Description
The 2016 James Hillman Symposium took as its subject Hillman’s Alchemical Psychology, volume 5 of the Uniform Edition, a study of the transformative processes suggested by the arcane alchemical processes that were adapted in late life by Jung as a basis of understanding depth psychology. Hillman carries this idea forward, arguing that the images and language of alchemy provide a much more valid, less abstract picture of human nature. With its colors and minerals, alchemy teaches, in Hillman’s words, “an aesthetic psychology.”
