These essays by the famous analytical psychologist and student
of creativity Erich Neumann belong in the context of the depth
psychology of culture and reveal a prescient concern about the
one-sidedness of patriarchal Western civilization. Neumann
recommended a "cultural therapy" that he thought would redress a
"fundamental ignorance" about feminine and masculine psychology,
and he looked for societal healing to a "matriarchal consciousness"
that forms the bridge between the feminine and the creative.
Brought together here for the first time, the essays in the book
discuss the psychological stages of woman's development, the moon
and matriarchal consciousness, Mozart's "Magic Flute, " the meaning
of the earth archetype for modern times, and the fear of the
feminine. In Mozart's fantastic world, Neumann saw a true
"Auseinandersetzung"--the conflict and coming-to-terms with each
other of the matriarchal and the patriarchal worlds. Developing
such a synthesis of the feminine and the masculine in the psychic
reality of the individual and of the collective was, he argued, one
of the fundamental, future-oriented tasks of both the society and
the individual.
