Review:
"Important reading for our time, as we try to make sense of our terrors." --San Francisco Chronicle
About the Author:
"[Hillman's] portrayal of war as an implacable force, a primary element of the human condition, is unsettling." --Publishers Weekly
A world-renowned lecturer, teacher, author, Jungian analyst, and former director of the C. G. Jung Institute, James Hillman (1926-2011) was born in New Jersey and spent much of his life in Europe. He is the author of more than twenty books, translated into ten languages, including The Myth of Analysis and Reinventing Psychiatry, which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1975.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Reprint. War is a timeless force in the human imagination-and, indeed, in daily life. Engaged in the activity of destruction, its soldiers and its victims discover a paradoxical yet profound sense of existing, of being human. In A Terrible Love of War, James Hillman, one of todays most respected psychologists, undertakes a groundbreaking examination of the essence of war, its psychological origins and inhuman behaviors. Utilizing reports from many fronts and times, letters from combatants, analyses by military authorities, classic myths, and writings from great thinkers, including Twain, Tolstoy, Kant, Arendt, Foucault, and Levinas, Hillmans broad sweep and detailed research bring a fundamentally new understanding to humanitys simultaneous attraction and aversion to war. This is a compelling, necessary book in a violent world. Seller Inventory # DADAX0143034928
