Book Description

Publication Date: 6 Jun 1991 | ISBN-10: 0415058449 | ISBN-13: 978-0415058445 | Edition: 2

The concept of 'Archteypes' and the hypothesis of 'A Collective Unconscious' are two of Jung's better known and most exciting ideas. In this volume - taken from the Collected Works and appearing in paperback for the first time - Jung describes and elaborates the two concepts.

Three essays establish the theoretical basis which are then followed by essays on specific archetypes. The relation of these to the process of individuation is examined in the last section. The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious is one of Jung's central works. There are many illustrations in full colour.

5.0 out of 5 stars A seminal investigation into the nature of the human psyche 10 Aug 2004
By James Howarth
Format:Paperback
This is a momentous book which contains enough ideas to keep you thinking for a lifetime. Jung's theory of the archetypes and the collective unconscious revolutionises the way we conceive of our own pysches, their inter-relationship with each other and their relation to the rest of existence. Jung brings this conception quite literally to a new level. Put it this way, having just read this book two years into writing a PhD, I now realise that I will have to rewrite almost everything I've done so far from the start. The reason for this is the unique perspective Jung can offer on what exactly it is human beings are trying to do with their lives, whether they are fully conscious of it or not. In particular, his insight into the travails of modern man and his quest for individuation dwarfs anything else I have read by other famous European theoreticians of the twentieth century. No serious literary critic or student of any humanities discipline can afford not to have read and come to terms with it.

It may be difficult for a beginner to get all the ideas in one go, as there is a lot of information both in the text itself and hidden in its implications. You have to be ready for this book, and much of the information in it may only be fully appreciated on the second or third reading. This in itself is a reflection of how profound it is. It may be better to start with "Memories, Dreams, Reflections" to get an overall idea of what sort of person Jung was before tackling his revolutionary ideas. But this book is indispensible for anyone who wants to understand his thought. I recommend it highly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps not for beginners 22 Dec 2009
By QS
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've read about a quarter of this book so far, some intriguing points have been brought up and I can't wait to be able to finish it. However this is only the second psychology book I've read and I'm having trouble grasping 'the bigger picture'. I feel like I'm constantly waiting for a 'summary' of points, or perhaps I'd be better off with some accompanying text to explain most of what's be talked about.
I do however feel this is mainly due to the fact that I'm new to the language/tone of psychology generally and new to Jung so if you're a beginner like myself then I'd recommend something a bit more introductory first, as I'm going to save it until I've read a little bit more around the subject.
I'm currently reading 'Man and his Symbols'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A giant of the 20th century 4 Jan 2011
By Marc John
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
With his concept and direct experience of the sub-conscious Shadow, Jung put into words a masterpiece of understanding about what is happening within the psyche of each and every person. If you can take the time to properly digest this lengthy and sometimes dense text, you'll be wiser and more informed than ever before about how your psyche operates. Whether you can confront and integrate your own Shadow after that is another matter.
