Masculinity is discussed by contemporary authors either in
socio-political terms or in popular writing that concentrates on
Jungian mythopoetics and spirituality. The outward-looking,
sociological standpoint ignores the spiritual view; the
inward-looking spiritual traditional disregards historical context
and the conditioning of society. In this work, David Tacey makes a
new synthesis of these two traditions, examining his own and other
men's experience with both spiritual and political insight. He is
critical of the way popular, conservative discourse on masculinity
has appropriated and distorted Jungian psychology, and believes
that political, antisexist and historical considerations should be
brought into discussions about the inner world. From this radical
standpoint Tacey addresses such topics as father-absence,
homoerotic desire and the dilemmas of feminine men.
