First published in 1990. James Hillman is one of the leading
figures in archetypal psychology and one of the most creative minds
in psychology. This anthology of his writings presents carefully
selected, choice passages from many of his seminal essays and work
on archetypal psychology. Fundamental themes in Hillman's thought
form the chapters of the book: poetic basis of mind, psychological
polytheism, dreams, love, therapy. The book is intended for the
reader who wants an overview or introduction to his highly original
approach, an approach that draws on mythology, renaissance
philosophy, alchemy and critical readings of Jung and Freud.
Plato and the Greeks called it 'daimon', the Romans 'genius', the
Christians 'Guardian Angel' - and today we use terms such as
'heart', 'spirit' and 'soul'. For James Hillman it is the central
and guiding force of his utterly unique and compelling 'acorn
theory' which proposes that each life is formed by a particular
image, an image that is the essence of that life and calls it to a
destiny, just as the mighty oak's destiny is written in the tiny
acorn. Highly accessible and imaginative, The Soul's Code offers a
liberating vision of childhood troubles and an exciting approach to
themes such as freedom, and, most of all, calling - that invisible
mystery at the centre of every life that voices the fundamental
question, 'What is in my heart that I must do, be and have? And
why?'
Robert Bly, James Hillman, and Michael Meade challenge the assumptions of our poetry-deprived society in this powerful collection of more than 400 deeply moving poems from renowned artists including Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Langston Hughes, Theodore Roethke, Rainer Maria Rilke, Marianne Moore, Thomas Wolfe, Czeslaw Milosz, and Henry David Thoreau.
In this book of dialogues, James Hillman and Sonu Shamdasani
reassess psychology, history, and creativity through the lens of
Carl Jung s Red Book. Hillman, the founder of Archetypal
Psychology, was one of the most prominent psychologists in America
and is widely acknowledged as the most original figure to emerge
from Jung s school. Shamdasani, editor and cotranslator of Jung s
Red Book, is regarded as the leading Jung historian. Hillman and
Shamdasani explore a number of the issues in the Red Book such as
our relation with the dead, the figures of our dreams and
fantasies, the nature of creative expression, the relation of
psychology to art, narrative and storytelling, the significance of
depth psychology as a cultural form, the legacy of Christianity,
and our relation to the past and examine the implications these
have for our thinking today."
Originally written for the Italian "Enciclopedia del Novecento,"
this indispensable book is a concise, instructive introduction to
polytheism, Greek mythology, the soul-spirit distinction, anima
mundi, psychopathology, soul-making, imagination, therapeutic
practice, and the writings of C.?G. Jung, Henry Corbin, and Adolf
Portmann in the formulation of the field of Archetypal
Psychology.This new edition includes three additional texts, which
Hillman long felt belong into this introductory account of
Archetypal Psychology: "Why 'Archetypal Psychology'?"; "Psychology:
Monotheistic or Polytheistic?"; and "Psychology: Monotheistic or
Polytheistic? - Twenty Years Later."
War is a timeless force in the human imagination-and, indeed, in
daily life. Engaged in the activity of destruction, its soldiers
and its victims discover a paradoxical yet profound sense of
existing, of being human. In A Terrible Love of War, James Hillman,
one of today's most respected psychologists, undertakes a
groundbreaking examination of the essence of war, its psychological
origins and inhuman behaviors. Utilizing reports from many fronts
and times, letters from combatants, analyses by military
authorities, classic myths, and writings from great thinkers,
including Twain, Tolstoy, Kant, Arendt, Foucault, and Levinas,
Hillman's broad sweep and detailed research bring a fundamentally
new understanding to humanity's simultaneous attraction and
aversion to war. This is a compelling, necessary book in a violent
world.
This book is about soul-making.
It is an attempt at a psychology of soul, an essay in re-visioning psychology from the point of view of soul. This book is therefore old-fashioned and radically novel because it harks back to the classical notions of soul and yet advances ideas that current psychology has not even begun to consider. Because the soul cannot be understood through psychology alone, our vision even leaves the field of psychology as it is usually thought of, and moves widely through history, philosophy, and religion.
