Imagination is Reality: Western Nirvana in Jung, Hillman, Barfield and Cassirer - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This small book is the first comprehensive essay to place archetypal psychology within a major tradition of modern thought, the tradition of mythical thinking, and to recognize imagination as the primal force and basic reality of human life. By drawing upon the writings of four twentieth-century thinkers, the author clarifies the post-Jungian direction of psychology as it moves toward poetic and polytheistic imagination. He then compares the radical achievements of this direction in resolving the 'ego-education' with the methods and ideas of the East: Buddhism, Tantrism, Zen, Vedanta.
