Jung's Red Book for Our Time

The spiritual malaise regnant in todays disenchanted world presents a picture of a polar night of icy darkness, as max weber wrote already a century ago. this collective dark night of the soul is driven by climate change-related disasters, rapid technological innovations, and opaque geostrategic realignments. in the wake of what policy analysts refer to as westlessness, the postmodern age is characterized by incessant distractions, urgent calls to responsibility, and in-humanly short deadlines, which result in a general state of exhaustion and burnout. the hovering sense of living in a time frame that is post-histoire induces states of confusion on a personal level as well as in the realm of politics. totally missing is a grand narrative to guide humanitys vision.thinkers, scholars, and jungian analysts are increasingly looking to c.g. jungs monumental oeuvre, the red book, as a source for guidance to re-enchant the world and to find a new and deeper understanding of the homo religiosus. the essays in this series on jungs red book for our time: searching for soul under postmodern conditions circle around this objective and offer countless points of entry into this inspiring work.this is the fourth volume of a multi-volume series set up on a global and multicultural level and includes essays from the following distinguished jungian analysts and scholars:murray stein and thomas arzt: introductionrobert m. mercurio: the red book and our contemporary crises: active imagination, mass migration and climate changeheike weis hyder: the burning urgency of psychodynamic discoveries in the red book for psychiatry and psychotherapy: a key for healing-resonance of soul, love and lifemaria helena r. mandacar guerra: jungs red book as a healing symbol for our timethomas moore: a book of magic: jungs red book and the tradition of natural magicbruce maclennan: liber novus sed non ultimus: neoplatonic theurgy for our timegary clark: integrating the archaic and the modern: the red book, visual cognitive modalities and the neuroscience of altered states of consciousnessjohn merchant: the red book as jungs asclepiadeanjohn ryan haule: jung comes back to himselfhenning weyerstrass: c.g. jung and the creative unconsciousbecca tarnas: the participatory imaginationdale kushner: in extremis: jungs descent into the language of the selfkarin jironet: on the divine and eternal solitude of the star: jungs seven sermons mirrored to sufi mysticismkatie givens kime: so long as we are not mystics: what the personal art of william james and c.g. jung give us nowchristian gaillard: the red book in venicekiley q. laughlin: the red book: a premodern graphic noveltymark winborn: liber novus and the metaphorical psyche: revisioning the red book
