Analytical Psychology and German Classical Aesthetics: Goethe,
Schiller, and Jung, volume 1, The Development of the Personality
investigates the extent to which analytical psychology draws on
concepts found in German classical aesthetics. It aims to place
analytical psychology in the German-speaking tradition of Goethe
and Schiller, with which Jung was well acquainted.
This volume argues that analytical psychology appropriates many
of its central notions from German classical aesthetics, and that,
when seen in its intellectual historical context, the true
originality of analytical psychology lies in its reformulation of
key tenets of German classicism. Although the importance for Jung
of German thought in general, and of Goethe and Schiller in
particular, has frequently been acknowledged, until now it has
never been examined in any detailed or systematic way. Through an
analysis of Jung's reception of Goethe and Schiller, Analytical
Psychology and German Classical Aesthetics demonstrates the
intellectual continuity within analytical psychology and the
filiation of ideas from German classical aesthetics to Jungian
thought. In this way it suggests that a rereading of analytical
psychology in the light of German classical aesthetics offers an
intellectually coherent understanding of analytical psychology.
By uncovering the philosophical sources of analytical
psychology, this first volume returns Jung's thought to its core
intellectual tradition, in the light of which analytical psychology
gains new critical impact and fresh relevance for modern thought.
Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, this book will
interest students and scholars alike in the areas of
analyticalpsychology, comparative literature, and the history of
ideas.
