The Self and the Quintessence explores Jung's work on number
symbolism and the alchemical journey and considers how they act as
metaphors underpinning theories about the development of the self
and individuation. It goes on to consider the implications of these
dynamics in terms of the symbol of the quintessence and what this
represents psychologically. Initially exploring number symbolism
and the way numbers can express dimensionality and emergence, this
book explores the theories which underpin Jung's ideas about the
self and its complexity, including the dynamics of opposites, the
transcendent function, and the symbol of the quaternity (fourness).
The book then explores the symbol of the quintessence from a
theoretical and clinical perspective and also in relation to its
use in alchemy and physics. It goes on to consider the symbolic and
psychological significance of the quintessence in relation to
complexity, emergence, individuation, wholeness, truth and the
spirit of matter. Extending Jungian ideas to explore the archetypal
symbol of the quintessence and its psychological significance, The
Self and the Quintessence will be of great interest to Jungian
academics, researchers and clinicians, and anyone looking to expand
their knowledge and understanding of Jungian psychology.
