The Israeli analytical psychologist Erich Neumann, whom C. G. Jung
regarded as one of his most gifted students, devoted much of his
later writing to the theme of creativity. This is the third volume
of Neumann's essays on that subject. Neumann found his examples not
only in the work of writers and artists--William Blake, Goethe,
Rilke, Kafka, Klee, Chagall, Picasso, Trakl--but as well in that of
physicists, biologists, psychiatrists, and philosophers.
Confronting the problem of portraying men and women as creative
beings, Neumann expanded the concepts of Jungian psychology with a
more comprehensive definition of the archetype and a new
concept--"unitary reality." Whether or not humanity can be restored
to health from its present situation as a self-endangered species
depends, according to Neumann, on whether we can experience
ourselves as truly creative, in touch with our own being and the
world's being. The six essays comprising this volume--"The Psyche
and the Transformation of the Reality Planes," "The Experience of
the Unitary Reality," "Creative Man and the 'Great Experience,'"
"Man and Meaning," "Peace as the Symbol of Life," and "The Psyche
as the Place of Creation"--all originated as lectures at the Eranos
Conferences in the years 1952 to 1960. Originally published in
1989. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
