{"product_id":"9781935528029","title":"C.G. Jung in the Humanities: Taking the Soul's Path","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book, by eminent Jungian and feminist literary critic Susan Rowland, is the first comprehensive analysis of the significance of Jung's work to the humanities, and even to those complex areas where the humanities and sciences border one another. More radically, it shows that Jung was a writer \u003cem\u003eof\u003c\/em\u003e myth, alchemy, symbolism, narrative, and poetics, as well as \u003cem\u003eon\u003c\/em\u003e them. Jung's writing is, in holistic terms, a \u003cem\u003ecomplex adaptive system\u003c\/em\u003e that comes alive when \u003cem\u003erealized\u003c\/em\u003e (made real) in the reader's psyche. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite his influence on a remarkable array of artists and thinkers, Jung's ideas have often suffered neglect and misunderstanding. This book goes a long way to making up for that situation. In addition to summarizing his core concepts for the novice, it addresses Jung's sometimes questionable judgment on political and gender issues, demonstrates his past importance and ongoing relevance, and previews some contemporary extensions of the frontiers of Jungian theory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy penetrating the secrets of the creative psyche, and by exploring the individual's connections with both the natural environment and the social and psychological collective, Jung proves a forerunner of the new holism. His work offers the promise of reconciling the sciences with the arts, humanity with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spring Journal Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039652757744,"sku":"9781935528029","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935528029_p0.jpg?v=1763656824","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935528029","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
