Jung and Levinas

<p>This book brings C.G. Jung and his successors in type theory into conversation with the French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas. It takes a radical view of post-modernist theory which the author argues is relentlessly introverted. A turn to the face of the other signals the disruption of the introversion endemic to Western culture at the moment; this is both a moral and an existential turn. A conception of mediation as transformative and thus therapeutic practice requires a recognition of psychic worlds beyond our own and a considered skilled extraverted turn that simultaneously engages different psychic functions and the potential for transformation of relationship and self.</p>
