These two essays, written late in Jung's life, reflect his
responses to the shattering experience of World War II and the dawn
of mass society. Among his most influential works, "The
Undiscovered Self" is a plea for his generation--and those to
come--to continue the individual work of self-discovery and not
abandon needed psychological reflection for the easy ephemera of
mass culture. Only individual awareness of both the conscious and
unconscious aspects of the human psyche, Jung tells us, will allow
the great work of human culture to continue and thrive.
Jung's reflections on self-knowledge and the exploration of the
unconscious carry over into the second essay, "Symbols and the
Interpretation of Dreams," completed shortly before his death in
1961. Describing dreams as communications from the unconscious,
Jung explains how the symbols that occur in dreams compensate for
repressed emotions and intuitions. This essay brings together
Jung's fully evolved thoughts on the analysis of dreams and the
healing of the rift between consciousness and the unconscious,
ideas that are central to his system of psychology.
This paperback edition of Jung's classic work includes a new
foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at
University College London.
