In 1913, C.G. Jung started a self-experiment that he called his
"confrontation with the unconscious": an engagement with his
fantasies, which he charted in a series of notebooks referred to as
The Black Books. The Red Book drew on material recorded therein to
1916 but Jung continued to write in them for decades. The Black
Books shed light on the elaboration of Jung's personal cosmology
and his attempts to embody insights from his self-investigation
into his life and relationships. Magnificently presented, featuring
a revelatory essay by Sonu Shamdasani, and both translated and
facsimile versions of each notebook, these "unmistakably Holy
Books" (Times Literary Supplement) offer a unique portal into
Jung's mind and the origins of analytical psychology.
This landmark book explores the Great Mother as a primordial image
of the human psyche. Here the renowned analytical psychologist
Erich Neumann draws on ritual, mythology, art, and records of
dreams and fantasies to examine how this archetype has been
outwardly expressed in many cultures and periods since prehistory.
He shows how the feminine has been represented as goddess, monster,
gate, pillar, tree, moon, sun, vessel, and every animal from snakes
to birds. Neumann discerns a universal experience of the maternal
as both nurturing and fearsome, an experience rooted in the
dialectical relation of growing consciousness, symbolized by the
child, to the unconscious and the unknown, symbolized by the Great
Mother. Featuring a new foreword by Martin Liebscher, this
Princeton Classics edition of The Great Mother introduces a new
generation of readers to this profound and enduring work.
Jung's lectures on the psychology of Jesuit spiritual
practice-unabridged in English for the first time Between 1933 and
1941, C. G. Jung delivered a series of public lectures at the Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. Intended for a
general audience, these lectures addressed a broad range of topics,
from yoga and meditation to dream analysis and the psychology of
alchemy. Here for the first time are Jung's complete lectures on
Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises, delivered in the winter
of 1939-1940. These illuminating lectures are the culmination of
Jung's investigation into traditional forms of meditation and their
parallels to his psychotherapeutic method of active imagination.
Jung presents Loyola's exercises as the prime example of a
Christian practice comparable to yoga and Eastern meditation, and
gives a psychological interpretation of the visions depicted in the
saint's autobiographical writings. Offering a unique opportunity to
encounter the brilliant psychologist as he shares his ideas with
the general public, the lectures reflect Jung's increasingly
positive engagement with Roman Catholicism, a development that
would lead to his fruitful collaborations after the war with
eminent Catholic theologians such as Victor White, Bruno de
Jesus-Marie, and Hugo Rahner. Featuring an authoritative
introduction by Martin Liebscher along with explanations of Jungian
concepts and psychological terminology, this splendid book provides
an invaluable window on the evolution of Jung's thought and a vital
key to understanding his later work.
An advanced introduction for students and a re-orientation for
Nietzsche scholars and intellectual historians on the development
of his thought and the aesthetic construction of his identity as a
philosopher. Nietzsche looms over modern literature and thought;
according to Gottfried Benn, "everything my generation discussed,
thought through innerly; one could say: suffered; or one could even
say: took to the point of exhaustion -- allof it had already been
said . . . by Nietzsche; all the rest was just exegesis."
Nietzsche's influence on intellectual life today is arguably as
great; witness the various societies, journals, and websites and
the steady stream ofpapers, collections, and monographs. This
Companion offers new essays from the best Nietzsche scholars,
emphasizing the interrelatedness of his life and thought, eschewing
a superficial biographical method but taking seriously his claim
that great philosophy is "the self-confession of its author and a
kind of unintended and unremarked memoir." Each essay examines a
major work by Nietzsche; together, they offer an advanced
introduction for students of German Studies, philosophy, and
comparative literature as well as for the lay reader.
Re-establishing the links between Nietzsche's philosophical texts
and their biographical background, the volume alerts
Nietzschescholars and intellectual historians to the internal
development of his thought and the aesthetic construction of his
identity as a philosopher. Contributors: Ruth Abbey, Keith
Ansell-Pearson, Rebecca Bamford, Paul Bishop, Thomas H. Brobjer,

Jung's illuminating lectures on the psychology of Eastern
spirituality Between 1933 and 1941, C. G. Jung delivered a series
of public lectures at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
(ETH) in Zurich. Intended for a general audience, these lectures
addressed a broad range of topics, from dream analysis to the
psychology of alchemy. Here for the first time are Jung's
illuminating lectures on the psychology of yoga and meditation,
delivered between 1938 and 1940. In these lectures, Jung discusses
the psychological technique of active imagination, seeking to find
parallels with the meditative practices of different yogic and
Buddhist traditions. He draws on three texts to introduce his
audience to Eastern meditation: Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, the
Amitayur-dhyana-sutra from Chinese Pure Land Buddhism, and the
Shri-chakra-sambhara Tantra, a scripture related to tantric yoga.
The lectures offer a unique opportunity to encounter Jung as he
shares his ideas with the general public, providing a rare window
on the application of his comparative method while also shedding
light on his personal history and psychological development.
Featuring an incisive introduction by Martin Liebscher as well as
explanations of Jungian concepts and psychological terminology,
Psychology of Yoga and Meditation provides invaluable insights into
the evolution of Jung's thought and a vital key to understanding
his later work.

Since Freud s earliest psychoanalytic theorization around the
beginning of the twentieth century, the concept of the unconscious
has exerted an enormous influence upon psychoanalysis and
psychology, and literary, critical and social theory. Yet, prior to
Freud, the concept of the unconscious already possessed a complex
genealogy in nineteenth-century German philosophy and literature,
beginning with the aftermath of Kant s critical philosophy and the
origins of German idealism, and extending into the discourses of
romanticism and beyond. Despite the many key thinkers who
contributed to the Germanic discourses on the unconscious, the
English-speaking world remains comparatively unaware of this
heritage and its influence upon the origins of psychoanalysis.
Bringing together a collection of experts in the fields of German
Studies, Continental Philosophy, the History and Philosophy of
Science, and the History of Psychoanalysis, this volume examines
the various theorizations, representations, and transformations
undergone by the concept of the unconscious in nineteenth-century
German thought.
