The idea of the numinous is often raised in psychoanalytic and
psychodynamic contexts, but it is rarely itself subjected to close
scrutiny. This volume examines how the numinous has gained currency
in the post-modern world, demonstrating how the numinous is no
longer confined to religious discourses but is included in
humanist, secular and scientific views of the world.
Questions of soul and spirit are increasingly being raised in
connection with the scientific exploration of the psyche, and
especially in the context of psychotherapy. The contributors to
this volume are interested in exploring the numinous in the human
psyche, in clinical work, world events, anthropology, sociology,
philosophy and the humanities. They originate from
multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural backgrounds, bringing a
variety of approaches to subjects including:
- Witchcraft: the numinous power of humans
- Jung and Derrida: the numinous, deconstruction and myth
- Accessing the numinous: Apolline and Dionysian pathways
- The role of the numinous in the reception of Jung
"The Idea of the Numinous" will fascinate all analytical
psychologists, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists interested in
investigating the overlap between therapeutic and religious
interests.
