The Roots of Jewish Consciousness, Volume One: Revelation and
Apocalypse is the first volume, fully annotated, of a major,
previously unpublished, two-part work by Erich Neumann (1905-1960).
It was written between 1934 and 1940, after Neumann, then a young
philosopher and physician and freshly trained as a disciple of
Jung, fled Berlin to settle in Tel Aviv. He finished the second
volume of this work at the end of World War II. Although he never
published either volume, he kept them the rest of his life. The
challenge of Jewish survival frames Neumann's work existentially.
This survival, he insists, must be psychological and spiritual as
much as physical. In Volume One, Revelation and Apocalypse, he
argues that modern Jews must relearn what ancient Jews once
understood but lost during the Babylonian Exile: that is, the
individual capacity to meet the sacred directly, to receive
revelation, and to prophesy. Neumann interprets scriptural and
intertestamental (apocalyptic) literature through the lens of
Jung's teaching, and his reliance on the work of Jung is
supplemented with references to Buber, Rosenzweig, and Auerbach.
Including a foreword by Nancy Swift Furlotti and editorial
introduction by Ann Conrad Lammers, readers of this volume can hold
for the first time the unpublished work of Neumann, with useful
annotations and insights throughout. These volumes anticipate
Neumann's later works, including Depth Psychology and a New Ethic,
The Origins and History of Consciousness, and The Great Mother. His
signature contribution to analytical psychology, the concept of the
ego-Self axis, arises indirectly in Volume One, folded into
Neumann's theme of the tension between earth and YHWH. This unique
work will appeal to Jungian analysts and psychotherapists in
training and in practice, historians of psychology, Jewish
scholars, biblical historians, teachers of comparative religion, as
well as academics and students.
