Reviews

Raya Jones brings together an exceptional group of writers to examine and debate the not only Jung's relationship to science, but also the nature of the scientific enterprise in light of Jung's theories. The authors represent a rich mix of perspectives on the deep structure of Jung's wide-ranging investigations, from the nature of myth to the fundamental features of reality. Marshaling both historical reconstruction and contemporary theory to illuminate the debate over Jung's place in the context of modern scientific discourse and practice, this book will be essential reading for anyone delving deeper into Jung's worldview. - George B. Hogenson, Jungian analyst in private practice in Chicago, past president of the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago from 2007- 2009. This book records an informed and spirited exchange between eight smart people accustomed to arguing with each other about analytical psychology. The content is challenging, and the inherent interest of this symposium encourages repeated encounters with its many lively parts. Throughout, Jung and the Question of Science succeeds in letting its reader see how good a place a Jungian conversation can be to hang out in when it is made to address the relation of Jung's theory to other approaches to knowledge. - John Beebe, past president of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, and author of Integrity in Depth.
