Aion is one of a number of major works that Jung wrote during his
seventies that were concerned with the relations between
psychology, alchemy and religion. He is particularly concerned in
this volume with the rise of Christianity and with the figure of
Christ. He explores how Christianity came about when it did, the
importance of the figure of Christ and the identification of the
figure of Christ with the archetype of the Self. A matter of
special importance to Jung in his seventies - the problem of
opposites, particularly good and evil - is further discussed and
the importance of the symbolism of the fish, which recurs as a
symbol of both Christ and the devil, is examined. As a study of the
archetype of the self, Aion complements The Archetypes and the
Collective Unconscious, which is also published in paperback.
