Description

Archetype: A Natural History of the Self by Anthony Stevens explores the concept of collective unconscious archetypes as proposed by C.G. Jung. Dr Stevens draws on recent studies in ethology, biology and psychiatry to provide a new scientific approach to understanding these biological entities. Jung's original idea of archetypes as entities that have evolved through natural selection is revisited and reinterpreted through interdisciplinary research. This work aims to integrate psychology with other disciplines to create a more comprehensive science of human behaviour. By examining the key to unlocking this long-neglected scientific approach, readers can gain insight into the nature of human behaviour and the role of archetypes in shaping our experiences.
