This volume presents the first organized study of Jung's ethics.
Drawing on direct quotes from all of his collected works,
interviews, and seminars, psychoanalyst and religious scholar Dan
Merkur provides a compendium of Jung's thoughts on various topics
and themes that comprise his theoretical corpus-from the personal
unconscious, repression, dreams, good and evil, and the shadow, to
collective phenomena such as the archetypes, synchronicity, the
psychoid, the paranormal, God, and the Self, as well as his
contributions to clinical method and technique including active
imagination, inner dialogue, and the process of individuation and
consciousness expansion. The interconnecting thread in Merkur's
approach to the subject matter is to read Jung's work through an
ethical lens. What comes to light is how Merkur systematically
portrays Jung as a moralist, but also as a complex thinker who
situates the human being as an instinctual animal struggling with
internal conflict and naturalized sin. Merkur exposes the tension
and development in Jung's thinking by exploring his innovative
clinical-technical methods and experimentation, such as through
active imagination, inner dialogue, and expressive therapies, hence
underscoring unconscious creativity in dreaming, symbol formation,
engaging the paranormal, and artistic productions leading to
expansions of consciousness, which becomes a necessary part of
individuation or the working through process in pursuit of
self-actualization and wholeness. In the end, we are offered a
unique presentation of Jung's core theoretical and clinical ideas
centering on an ethical fulcrum, whereby his moral psychology leads
to a cure of souls. Jung's Ethics will be of interest to academics,
scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of Jungian
studies and analytical psychology, ethics, moral psychology,
philosophy, religious studies, and mental health professionals
focusing on the integration of humanities and psychoanalysis.
