Description
Starting in 1913, the eminent Swiss psychotherapist C. G. Jung underwent a series of profound psychological experiences which led him to develop his concept of the Collective Unconscious, which in his view underlies all human cultural consciousness. His personal account of these experiences, both verbal and pictorial, has recently been published in the Red Book. We will explore these experiences in the context of cross-cultural symbolism, which will help us to evaluate the idea of the Collective Unconscious and its value for the study of Anthropology.
