Jung`s Red Book For Our Time

<p>The essays in this volume are geared to the recognition that the posthumous publication of <em>The Red Book: Liber Novus </em>by C. G. Jung in 2009 was a meaningful gift to our contemporary world. Similar to the volatile times Jung found himself in when he created this work a century ago, we today too are confronted with highly turbulent and uncertain conditions of world affairs that threaten any sense of coherent meaning, personally and collectively.<em> The Red Book </em>promises to become an epochal opus for the 21st century in that it offers us guidance for finding soul under postmodern conditions.<br /> This is the first volume of a three-volume series set up on a global and multicultural level and compiling essays from distinguished Jungian analysts and scholars.</p><p><strong>Contributions by:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Murray Stein: Introduction</li> <li>Thomas Arzt: “The Way of What Is to Come”: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions</li> <li>Ashok Bedi: Jung’s Red Book: A Compensatory Image for Our Contemporary Culture: A Hindu Perspective</li> <li>Paul Bishop: In a World That Has Gone Mad, Is What We Really Need … A Red Book?
