Description
Nine essays of general significance constitute this fifteenth volume in the collected edition of the late Swiss psychologist’s writings. In these papers, written between 1922 and 1941, Jung’s attention was directed mainly to the qualities of personality that enabled the creative spirit to introduce radical innovations into realms as diverse as medicine psychoanalysis, Oriental studies, the visual arts, and literature.
Essays on Paracelsus, Freud, the sinologist Richard Wilhelm, Picasso and Joyce’s Ulysses are supplemented by two others that consider artistic creativity generally and explore its source in archetypal structures.
