Although the works of C.G. Jung have received worldwide attention,
there has been surprisingly little engagement by philosophers. In
this volume, internationally recognized philosophers, Jungian
analysts, and scholars attempt to fill this void in the literature.
Although Jung did not have a formalized, systematic philosophy, the
philosophical implications of his thought are explored in relation
to his key theoretical postulates on archetypes, the collective
unconscious, the mind-body problem, phenomenology, epistemology,
psychology of religion, alchemy, myth, ethics, aesthetics, and the
question of transcendence. Through analyzing Jung philosophically,
new vistas emerge for enhanced explication, theoretical refinement,
revision, and redirecting shifts in emphasis that lend more proper
cohesion to Jung's philosophy. For the first time we may observe
philosophers attempting to unpack the philosophical consequences of
Jung's thought applied to many traditional topics covered in the
humanities and the social sciences. Given that Jung has not been
historically taken up by philosophers, critiqued, nor applied to
contemporary theories of mind, culture, and human nature, this is
the first book of its kind. It is argued that a new generation of
research in analytical psychology can benefit from philosophical
scrutiny and theoretical fortification. Jung and Philosophy will be
of interest to psychoanalysts, philosophers, cultural theorists,
religious scholars, and the disciplines of depth psychology and
post-Jungian studies.
