Neuware - The Book of Symbols vereint eigens für dieses Buch verfasste Kurzessays über einzelne Symbole mit repräsentativen Abbildungen aus allen Erdteilen und Epochen. Das ganz besondere Zusammenspiel der überaus eingängigen Texte mit den über 800 Farbabbildungen enthüllt zahlreiche verborgene Bedeutungsebenen. Jeder der annähernd 350 Essays untersucht den spirituellen Hintergrund des jeweiligen Symbols und die Entstehung dynamischer spiritueller Prozesse. Ethymologische Wurzeln, das Spiel der Gegensätze, Paradoxe und Schatten sowie kulturelle Unterschiede - all diese Gesichtspunkte werden angesprochen. Die von Autoren aus den Bereichen Psychologie, Religion, Kunst, Literatur und vergleichende Mythenkunde verfassten Essays verfließen auf eine Weise miteinander, welche die unerwarteten Konvergenzen der Psyche widerspiegelt. Dabei gibt es jedoch keine fertigen Definitionen, die der Symbolkraft eher schaden würden; vielmehr bleibt ein bis heute lebendiges Symbol teilweise rätselhaft, fordert unsere Aufmerksamkeit und entfaltet mit der Zeit neue Bedeutungen und Manifestationen. Anstelle bloßer Kategorisierung verdeutlicht The Book of Symbols den Schritt von der visuellen Wahrnehmung eines Symbolbilds in Kunst, Religion, Alltag oder Traum hin zum unmittelbaren Erleben seiner persönlichen und psychologischen Resonanz. The Book of Symbols setzt neue Standards für eine bedachtsame Erkundung der Symbole und ihrer Bedeutungen und wendet sich an eine breite Leserschaft - an Künstler, Designer, Träumer und Traumdeuter, Psychotherapeuten, Selbsthelfern, Fans von Videospielen, Lesern von Comics, Suchende von Glauben und Spiritualität, Schriftsteller, Studenten und alle, die sich für die Kraft archetypischer Bilder interessieren. …

The Book of Symbols combines original and incisive essays about particular symbols with representative images from all parts of the world and all eras of history. The highly readable texts and over 800 beautiful full-color images come together in a unique way to convey hidden dimensions of meaning. Each of the ca. 350 essays examines a given symbol’s psychic background, and how it evokes psychic processes and dynamics. Etymological roots, the play of opposites, paradox and shadow, the ways in which diverse cultures have engaged a symbolic image―all these factors are taken into consideration.
Authored by writers from the fields of psychology, religion, art, literature, and comparative myth, the essays flow into each other in ways that mirror the psyche’s unexpected convergences. There are no pat definitions of the kind that tend to collapse a symbol; a still vital symbol remains partially unknown, compels our attention and unfolds in new meanings and manifestations over time. Rather than merely categorize, The Book of Symbols illuminates how to move from the visual experience of a symbolic image in art, religion, life, or dreams to directly experiencing its personal and psychological resonance.
The Book of Symbols sets new standards for thoughtful exploration of symbols and their meanings, and will appeal to a wide range of readers: artists, designers, dreamers and dream interpreters, psychotherapists, self-helpers, gamers, comic book readers, religious and spiritual searchers, writers, students, and anyone curious about the power of archetypal images.
