Description
The Gnostic Jung by Carl Gustav Jung This book explores the connection between Gnosticism and Jungian analytical psychology. Robert Segal, an expert on theories of myth and Gnosticism, has gathered Jung's main writings on the subject, including his own Gnostic myth, "Seven Sermons to the Dead." The book also features key essays by Father Victor White and Gilles Quispel, providing insight into Jung's thoughts on Gnosticism and its parallels with contemporary Jungian theory. Segal's introduction discusses the similarities between ancient Gnostic and Jungian patients, as well as the meaning of Gnostic myths and the Seven Sermons in Jung's work. The book offers a unique perspective on Jung's views on Gnosticism and its relevance to his own psychological theories. Published in 1992, this volume provides a comprehensive look at Jung's thoughts on Gnosticism and its connections to his analytical psychology.
