This book examines the Jungian imperative that the Third must
become the Fourth through the lens of Carl Jung's complex reception
of Plato. While in psychoanalytic discourse the Third is typically
viewed as an agent that brings about healing, the author highlights
that, in the case of Jung, an early emphasis on the Third as the
"transcendent function" gave way to an increasing insistence on the
importance of the Fourth. And yet, he asks, why must "the Third
become the Fourth"? Paul Bishop begins with a survey of work on
Jung's relation to Plato, before turning to Jung's readings of the
Timaeus and Black Books, as well as Goethe's Faust II and
Nietzsche's Zarathustra. He proceeds to unpick Jung's statements on
the Third and the Fourth though a compelling analysis of how Jung
draws upon religious and alchemical traditions, Pythagorean
numerology, his own dream-like experiences and Plato's cosmology.
This book will appeal to practitioners and to scholars working in
the history of ideas, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and
psychoanalytic theory.
