In 1952 C. G. Jung published a paradoxical hypothesis on
synchronicity that marked an attempt to expand the western world's
conception of the relationship between nature and the psyche.
Jung's hypothesis sought to break down the polarizing cause-effect
assessment of the world and psyche, suggesting that everything is
interconnected. Thus, synchronicity is both "a meaningful event"
and "an acausal connecting principle." Evaluating the world in this
manner opened the door to "exploring the possibility of meaning in
chance or random events, deciphering if and when meaning might be
present even if outside conscious awareness."
Now, after contextualizing Jung's work in relation to contemporary
scientific advancements such as relativity and quantum theories,
Joseph Cambray explores in this book how Jung's theories,
practices, and clinical methods influenced the current field of
complexity theory, which works with a paradox similar to Jung's
synchronicity: the importance of symmetry as well as the need to
break that symmetry for "emergence" to occur. Finally, Cambray
provides his unique contribution to the field by attempting to
trace "cultural synchronicities," a reconsideration of historical
events in terms of their synchronistic aspects. For example, he
examines the emergence of democracy in ancient Greece in order "to
find a model of group decision making based on emergentist
principles with a synchronistic core."
