Description

Carl Jung and the End of Humanity offers a revolutionary new reading of the great psychologist as mystic, gnostic and prophet for our time. This book is the first major re-imagining of Jung's work since the publication of the Red Book in 2009, and provides a serious assessment of his thought in the context of ancient Gnostic, Hermetic and alchemical traditions. Peter Kingsley skillfully uncovers the forgotten story of Jung's relationship with the great Sufi scholar, Henry Corbin, and with Persian Sufi tradition. The Red Book, or "New Book" as Jung called it, is a mysterious and incantatory text that holds a great secret, hidden in plain sight. By examining this text in detail, Kingsley reveals the full extent of the esoteric tradition that stretches back to the beginnings of our civilization, and unveils surprising realities behind western philosophy, literature, poetry, prophecy - both ancient and modern. This book holds the key to understanding why our western culture is dying, and shows the way to discovering what we must do in times of great crisis. With its 844-page paperback edition, Catafalque Carl Jung and the End of Humanity is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the human condition.
