Jung's lectures on the psychology of Jesuit spiritual
practice-unabridged 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 yoga and meditation to dream analysis and the psychology of
alchemy. Here for the first time are Jung's complete lectures on
Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises, delivered in the winter
of 1939-1940. These illuminating lectures are the culmination of
Jung's investigation into traditional forms of meditation and their
parallels to his psychotherapeutic method of active imagination.
Jung presents Loyola's exercises as the prime example of a
Christian practice comparable to yoga and Eastern meditation, and
gives a psychological interpretation of the visions depicted in the
saint's autobiographical writings. Offering a unique opportunity to
encounter the brilliant psychologist as he shares his ideas with
the general public, the lectures reflect Jung's increasingly
positive engagement with Roman Catholicism, a development that
would lead to his fruitful collaborations after the war with
eminent Catholic theologians such as Victor White, Bruno de
Jesus-Marie, and Hugo Rahner. Featuring an authoritative
introduction by Martin Liebscher along with explanations of Jungian
concepts and psychological terminology, this splendid book provides
an invaluable window on the evolution of Jung's thought and a vital
key to understanding his later work.
