This ground-breaking book re-positions C.G. Jung's legacy, and the field of analytical psychology, within the panorama of contemporary knowledge in neurobiology, psychology, culture and anthropology. Within this new volume, Stefano Carta aims to provide a new, up-to-date way of understanding Jung's work, and to show the effect to which his central positions can be better understood in relation to topics such as the nature of the psyche, of the self, of the collective unconscious, and of archetypal theory. This book describes, with extensive substantiations and an original discussion, the transformation of psychological processes into cultural ones, leading to the formation of various forms of symbolic institutions. Spanning two volumes, which are also accessible as standalone books, and with international appeal and original and interdisciplinary in scope, they will be of great interest to Jungian scholars and analysts as well as students and those on Jungian-oriented training courses.
