Jung and the Jungians on Myth Paperback / softback
by Steven Walker
Part of the Theorists of Myth series
Paperback / softback
Description
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was never more insightful and intriguing than when he discussed mythology.
The key to understanding the Jungian approach to mythology lies in the concept of the image, which provides the basis for his theory of the unconscious.
By emphasizing the image over the word, Jungian psychology distinguishes itself dramatically from Freudian, Lacanian, and other psychologies that stress the task of interpreting the language- the words- of the unconscious. In Jung and the Jungians on Myth , Steven Walker carefully leads the reader through the essential lines of thought in Jungian psychology before developing his method for using Jungian ideas to approach mythological texts.
Whether one is sympathetic toward Jung's ideas or critical of them, one will find in Walker's discussion a lucid introduction to Jungian perspectives on myth and psychology.
