Description
C. G. Jung's life and work continue to be shrouded in controversy nearly half a century after his death. New biographies of Jung appear regularly, each promising to uncover the secrets of his life and work. However, these works often rely on rumour, gossip, innuendo, and fantasy, rather than historical fact. This book addresses the pitfalls of such biographies, demonstrating how Jung's life and work should be approached on a historical basis. It surveys attempts to write Jung's biography from during his own lifetime until the present, examining why some works are more reliable than others. By drawing on decades of archival investigation and new documentation, this book sets out an agenda for future studies and discussions of Jung and his impact on contemporary culture. By separating fact from fiction, this work provides a nuanced understanding of Jung's life and work, allowing readers to form their own opinions about one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.
