Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Volume 5 : Symbols of Transformation

A complete revision of __Psychology of the Unconscious__ (orig. 1911-12), Jung's first important statement of his independent position. "Aion, originally published in German in 1951, is one of the major works of Jung's later years. The central theme of the volume is the symbolic representation of the psychic totality through the concept of the Self, whose traditional historical equivalent is the figure of Christ. Jung demonstrates his thesis by an investigation of the Allegoria Christi, especially the fish symbol, but also of Gnostic and alchemical symbolism, which he treats as phenomena of cultural assimilation. The first four chapters, on the ego, the shadow, and the anima and animus, provide a valuable summation of these key concepts in Jung's system of psychology."--Amazon.com Esta es la versin completa y definitiva de una de las obras ms revolucionarias y centrales de C. G. Jung. A partir de la reconstruccin y examen de los procesos semiconscientes e inconscientes del caso de una joven, Jung muestra que la psicologa no puede prescindir de la historia del espritu humano. La fantasa creadora dispone del espritu primitivo, con sus imgenes especficas, que se manifiestan en las mitologas de todos los pueblos y pocas e integran lo inconsciente colectivo.
