Product Description

Synopsis
Together for the first time in one paperback volume are two of Jung's major late works, in the version published in "The Collected Works of C. G. Jung", as rendered by Jung's official translator. "The Undiscovered Self" (1957) integrates many of Jung's lifelong social and psychological concerns and addresses the uneasy relation between the individual and mass society. The survival of civilization, he maintains, depends on individual awareness of both the conscious and unconscious aspects of the human psyche. The exploration of the unconscious, in particular, leads to self-knowledge and with it recognition of the duality of human nature its potential for evil as well as for good. Jung believes that it is this self-knowledge that enables the individual to resist the collective power of mass society and the state and to cope with their possible threats. Jung's reflections on self-knowledge and the exploration of the unconscious carry over into his essay "Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams," completed shortly before his death in 1961. (It is the original version of his introduction to the symposium "Man and His Symbols", conceived as a popular presentation of Jungian ideas.) Describing dreams as communications from the unconscious - as expressions of aspects of the individual that have been neglected or unrealized - Jung explains how the symbols that occur in dreams compensate for repressed emotions and intuitions. In a world dehumanized, in Jung's view, by scientific "progress" and the loss of emotional participation in natural events, symbols recall our original nature, its instincts and peculiar way of thinking. This essay brings together Jung's fully evolved thoughts on the analysis of dreams and the healing of the rift between consciousness and the unconscious, in the context of his system of psychology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jung's remedy for a fulfilled meaningful life., 21 April 2002
By faridomran@aol.com (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The 20th century with its gigantic scientific discoveries and new sociopolitical criteria has witnessed the defeat of mankind as an individual replaced with collective values, a belittled creature almost next to nothing. Such complicated environment toward the end of his life forced Jung to tackle the effects of such phenomena on modern man's psychic life. Bringing meaning to individual's life is and has always been a genuine and ultimate quest. Though in the case of contemporary man, the dimming value of the individual has resulted in the loss of confidence in existence, life and God. Wars, poverty, revolutions, mass destruction etc.. are the concerns of Jung in the book. Reading the book is strongly recommended. Jung does not only object the idea of State replacing the individual but also insists that if there is a glimpse of hope it is still hidden in this tiny being who God himself seeks his goal. Jung tries to teach the modern man :
To live as a unique and undivided self and conduct a fulfilled meaningful life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read and understand, 23 Nov 2002
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
The only book by Carl Jung that I could read (as opposed to study), and easily understand and appreciate. Although written at the time of the cold war, his thoughts on the individual, religion and the state are as relevant today and truly timeless. I recommend The Undiscovered Self as a great introduction to one of the greatest psychologists and philosophers of the 20th century. I would also like to recommend Stephan Hoeller's "The Gnostic Jung and the Seven Sermons to the Dead."
