Jung's lectures on consciousness and the unconscious-in English for
the first time Between 1933 and 1941, C. G. Jung delivered a series
of public lectures at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
(ETH) in Zurich. Intended for a general audience, these lectures
addressed a broad range of topics, from dream analysis and yoga to
the history of psychology. They are at the center of Jung's
intellectual activity in this period and provide the basis of his
later work. Here for the first time in English is Jung's
introduction to his core psychological theories and methods,
delivered in the summer of 1934. With candor and wit, Jung shares
with his audience the path he himself took to understanding the
nature of consciousness and the unconscious. He describes their
respective characteristics using examples from his clinical
experience as well as from literature, his travels, and everyday
life. For Jung, consciousness is like a small island in the ocean
of the unconscious, while the unconscious is part of the primordial
condition of humankind. Jung explains various methods for
uncovering the contents of the unconscious, in particular talk
therapy and dream analysis. Complete with explanations of Jungian
concepts and terminology, Consciousness and the Unconscious
painstakingly reconstructs and translates these talks from detailed
shorthand notes by attendees, making a critical part of Jung's work
available to today's readers.
