Overview

Jung described himself as a phenomenologist, yet the significance of this has not been systematically explored, either by Jung's followers or by those situated more centrally in the phenomenological tradition. This book takes the central concepts of contemporary analytical psychology and re-interprets them within a phenomenological framework in order to achieve two goals: firstly that of providing a deeper understanding of Jung's psychology than has previously been available, and secondly that of showing how a phenomenological analytical psychology might emerge. Jung and Phenomenology is a seminal contribution to Jungian scholarship, to existential phenomenology and to analytical psychology. In bringing together these differing fields of twentieth century thought, the book inevitably draws in ideas from related domains, such as hermeneutics, poetics and aesthetics. It will be essential reading for anyone seriously concerned with developments in these disciplines.
