Man and His Symbols

Although sometimes hard to grasp. This book certainly invokes a need to know more. A good introduction to Jung's work.

I enjoyed reading this, informative, easy to read and interesting.

Meaningful

The writing can be a little cryptic but it was fun to learn what was a very alternative perspective of the nature of the human unconscious to me. I liked that I connected with a lot of the concepts as well as more support for a shadow persona. I agree that it's a thing and would recommend this read to anyone interested in it. There's also a variety of lovely concepts of interpretation for art.. The one key point I found helpful was reinforcing interpretations case by case as opposed to a general interpretation.

Challenging yet satisfying, keeps the interest when micro learning. Definitely recommended for those interested in neuroscience and the connection between consciousness.

Very informative, easy language . I could connect to my own experiences . If you come from a christian world view, take what is good and constructive . His view of the Bible and God is completly different from a theological view. He follows a more alchimistic , easter , atheistic view . What I like in him is the humbleness in which he aproaches each patient without trying to make his own view but viewing through the patients own point of view. He never attempt to say his theory was completly true or a dogma like religion where psychologist and movie making uses as if Jung is the only true source for individualization process. He was only trying to categorize and understand through myrhs , folk tales, arts what all humanbeings share in commun . I don t believe every dream is a projection of your self on others and your repress shadow and emotions trying to find balance . For him God is the unconscious . He belittle the prophetic and acurate revelation of the bible through dreams as God message for the people and Him stablishing his will. For jung , the subconcious is out of time and space and can fortell the past and future . God as an agent does not exist . Not that all dreams come from God. Gor the majority of other dreams symboles and metaphores are realy interest to investigate,, but also this same symboles can be found in the bible. The problem I see is always too much about the self . While Jesus tell us to deny Self in losing oneself we find it. Jung says in finding oneself you find , incorporate the shadow parts, how to do that , if you are hurting others and harming other people , is the question I ask. I have seen people embracing their Tirant , trickester , evil shadow to integrate themselves acting the evil upon others and they have no idea that a person is trying to use a psychology theory . The other person is completly lost and confused , not knowing why someone cannot send the same message in a loving, kind respectfull way . You don t pay good with evil , that is what I see happening with to integrate their evil side destroying others.

Man and His Symbols is a must read for persons who are fans of Carl G. Jung. As stated by the Guardian, what emerges with great clarity from this book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society, by insisting that imaginative life must be taken seriously in its own right, as the most distinctive characteristic of human beings. This book is amazing. It was "dumb-downed" if you will, so that the average person like me could understand Jungs writing. Before he died he insisted that this should be and it was. A must read for anyone who is a fan of Jung.

This is a must read for anyone philosophically inclined. Amazing examination of unconscious thought processies.

Ben normal ebatta olanını almıştım. Sayfa ve basım kalitesi gayet iyi okunabilir, resimler görünür ancak kapak kalitesi Tr kitaplarına göre düşük. Taşırken beyaz beyaz soyuldu.

Jung's intelligence and wisdom is beyond my understanding. This book has helped shape so much of our current society. Unfortunately, this wisdom has been used for nefarious purposes. If you know, you know.

I love it... Good book.. Book is okay...

Read this in college and it still hasn't lost its charm and mystery after all these years. It's erudite and highly readable: I especially enjoyed the chapters on 'The Process of individutaion' and 'Symbols in the visual arts'. Various plates are scattered in the book but in black and white so it's hard to appreciate them. Nevertheless, a good read!

Thank you, even it's used it's like brand new, and good printing. I'm encouraged to buy used books. This is the right book to start read Carl Jung books.
