Synopsis:
The essays collected in this volume provide a depth-psychological exploration of the relationship between violence and the soul. Soul, according to Jungian analyst Wolfgang Giegerich, is not merely the innocent recipient or victim of violence; it also produces itself through violent deeds and expresses itself in violent acts. Topics discussed include ritual slaughtering as primordial soul-making, shadow integration and the rise of psychology, blood-brotherhood and blood-revenge, the alchemy of history, child sacrifice, Islamic terrorism, and the animus as negation with special reference to Bluebeard.

Book Description Original soft cover. Condition: Sehr gut. 476 p. Cover slightly bumped, otherwise a very good copy. - Psychology, in the view of C. G. Jung, is an inescapably subjective enterprise, its concepts and theories, practices and traditions being themselves an expression of the psyche they were developed to explain. Recognizing this, the discipline must be a critical one. Reflexively turning upon itself, its aim must be that ol making the subjective factor conscious, for in this alone land not in the attainment ol any kind of "objective" knowledge) resides the authority of psychology's discourse. The furthering of psychology, it follows, depends upon the critical efforts ol its most seminal contributors. It requires thinkers for whom the notion ol soul has served both as vital inspiration and binding commitment. With its publication ot the Collected English Papers of Wolfgang Giegerich, Spring Journal Books makes available to the psycho-logical reader the work of one of archetypal psychology's most brilliant theorists. A practicing Jungian analyst and a long-time contributor to the field, Giegerich is renowned for his dedication to the substance of Jungian thought and for his unparalleled ability to think it through with both rigor and speculative strength. - About volume III: "All steps forward in the improvement of the human psyche have been paid for by blood." Further to this statement from C.G. Jung, Giegerich shows that the soul is not merely the innocent recipient or victim of violence; it also produces itself through violent deeds and expresses itself through violent acts. Beginning in primordial times with the ritual spilling of blood in animal and human sacrifice, a light was kindled within the darkness of what would otherwise have been mere biological existence, the light of consciousness, mindedness, and "the soul." And following upon this, in the clearance thus created, the soul attained new statuses of itself on the historic battlefields of war and revolution. First-order killings gave way to second-order killings, the killings of metaphysics and philosophy. Turning around upon itself (even as it violently engaged those adversarial others through whom its self-relation was mediated) the soul learned to self-critically cut into itself. It was in this way. as the inwardness of the blood that was paid out for it, that psychology emerged. Topics include ritual slaughter as primordial soul-making, shadow integration and the rise of psychology, blood-brotherhood and blood revenge, the alchemy of history. Kafka's "In the Penal Colony." child sacrifice. Islamic terrorism, and the animus as negation with special reference to Bluebeard. - Contents: PART I: BASIC CONCEPTS OF PSYCHOLOGY: CHILD, SHADOW, ANIMUS -- The Rescued Child, or The Misappropriation of Time: On the Search for Meaning -- First Shadow, then Anima, or The Advent of the Guest: Shadow Integration and the Rise of Psychology -- The Animus as Negation and as the Soul's Own Other: The Soul's Threefold Stance toward Its Experience of Its Other -- PART II: THE FOREIGNNESS OF THE ARCHAIC PSYCHE -- The Sacrifice of Isaac and the Watershed of History: Preparatory and Methodological Remarks Concerning the Topic of Ritual Killings -- Killings -- Blood Brotherhood, Blood Revenge, and Devotio: Glimpses of the Archaic Psyche -- Once More, the Reality/Irreality Issue: A Reply to Hillman's Reply -- PART III: PSYCHOLOGY'S PLACE AND ROLE IN HISTORY -- Comment on James Hillman's "Psychology: Monotheistic or Polytheistic?" -- The Alchemy of History -- PART IV: REALITY EXTRA ANIMAM -- Islamic Terrorism.
