Archetypal dimensions of the psyche
by Marie-Louise von Franz
- 6 Want to read
In this book Jungian analyst Marie-Louise von Franz uses her vast knowledge of myths, fairy tales, dreams, and visions to show how the collective psyche itself has pointed to ways of resolving the modern predicament. She discusses Mercurius, the darkly paradoxical figure from medieval alchemy; the visions of the Swiss mystic Niklaus von Flue; the "unknown visitor" motif in fairy tales; the Cosmic Man as image of the goal of human development; and many archetypal dreams of contemporary people.
All of these can be seen as expressions of a collective urge in the West to reintegrate nature and the body, matter and spiritand, ultimately, to help us find our way, individually and collectively, to a renewed unity of being and culture.
