James Hillman Orden de los libros

Edited and introduced by STANTON MARLAN, Salt and the Alchemical Soul is a collection of three papers from Freudian, Jungian, and Archetypal Psychology, newly edited and introduced, providing excellent examples of different methods and styles of working with images. ERNEST JONES, in his essay "The Symbolic Significance of Salt in Folklore and Superstition," attempts to apply psychoanalysis as a "new science" to an understanding of superstition. C.¿G. JUNG's investigation into alchemy in "Sal" leads him to see salt as the principle of Eros at the base of the self. JAMES HILLMAN, using the image of salt, looks into the alchemical way of psychologizing, in "The Suffering of Salt." (Second, revised edition)

Po klasicích Sigmundu Freudovi a C. G. Jungovi přichází James Hillman s originálním pohledem na sny a práci s nimi. Vychází z klasických teorií, ale netradičně je obohacuje o nový přístup čerpající z poetiky mytologie. Spojuje sny zejména s temnou stránkou duše, s jejími představami a stíny, s obrazy smrti. Hillmanovým řešením v přístupu ke snu je především odvaha k imaginativní, poetické, metaforické svobodě, odvaha k tvořivému ponoru do hlubiny… Na teoretickou část knihy, která je prokládána množstvím příkladů z mýtů i Hillmanovy vlastní praxe, navazují úvahy nad některými konkrétními snovými motivy.

A deeper, richer portrait of Oedipus, the most famous figure in all of Greek tragedy and the (unconscious?!) hero of the basic myth of psychoanalysis by two giants in the fields of mythology and psychology: the eminent mythographer Karl Kerényi and the founder of archetypal psychology, James Hillman. Kerényi widens the Oedipus myth's cultural context by introducing unusual dramatic versions that played in Rome, Paris, Vienna, and London. His authoritative and detailed essays release wonderful insights for even the most casual reader. Hillman takes on Father Freud and his Oedipus complex (i.e., every son wants to kill his father and marry his mother). He inverts the emphasis and asks, Why do fathers kill their sons? Hillman brilliantly proposes that the madness of Oedipus may lie less in his overt crimes than in his-and therapy's-single-minded focus upon "figuring out" one's true identity through a remembering of the past. This relentless search for Oedipus to "know himself" is still with us, still blinds us, still tries to turn people in therapy into Oedipus. Yet Hillman also shows us that, in addition to the curse, murder, incest, and disease, the myth of Oedipus contains beauty, blessing, love, and loyalty.

From back cover:MARlE-LOUlSE von FRANZ is renown [sic] in the field of analytical psychology. A native of Munich, she has spent most of her life in Zurich where she worked directly with C.G. Jung for nearly thirty years. She was one of the founders of the jung Institute in Kusnacht, Switzerland, and is currently an analyst there. A gifted and prolific writer, von Franz travels extensively, lecturing on her works and Jungian psychology.Anticipating the current interest in what is popularly called the "Peter Pan" syndrome, Puer Aetemus ("eternal child") is von Franz's classic study of the youth within us, resistant to commitment in work or relationships and unable to completely abandon the dreams and fantasies of adolescence. Von Franz shows how this childish innocence can thwart our self-actualization and doom us to adolescent delusions and provisional living.Through an analysis of Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince and Bruno Goetz's Kingdom Without Space, von Franz explores the negative potential of the puer and its relation to the mother complex, Don Juanism, and homosexuality. Above all, she helps both men and women recognize this aspect and harness and focus its energy productively."After reading Puer Aeternus and looking around at the men I know, friends and acquaintances, I couldn't help seeing reflections everywhere of what von Franz observed. Trapped in dreamy adolescence, afraid to leave the paradise of childhood: that seemed to describe a lot of them... [This book] is relevant to any effort at making sense of this problem." —David Hellerstein, Esquire[Previous description:El término latino puer aeternus, que significa infancia o juventud eterna, se le atribuye al niño-dios Yaco en las Metamorfosis de Ovidio. Posteriormente, el niño-dios se identificó con Dionisos y el dios Eros. En la psicología junguiana, el término puer aeternus se utiliza comúnmente para describir cierto tipo de hombre: encantador, afectuoso, creativo y siempre en pos de sus sueños. Se trata de hombres que siguen siendo adolescentes incluso en la edad madura, generalmente llenos de vida, pero que agotan extrañamente a quienes les rodean. Hemos trabajado con ellos, les hemos amado y les hemos visto decirnos adiós.Este estudio clásico, basado en una serie de conferencias que la doctora junguiana Marie-Louise von Franz pronunció en el Jung Institute de Zürich, ha tenido una influencia extraordinaria en la psicología contemporánea. Se trata de psicología junguiana en su tonalidad más terrenal y realista, formulada con un rigor y una profundidad extraordinarias. Esta nueva edición incluye además una Bibliografía y un Índice onomástico muy completo.]

Alchemical Psychology combines all of Hillman's papers on the alchemical imagination from 1980 to the present. Hillman called the early attempt to present his way of grasping this material, in the 1960s at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, "Alchemical Opus/AnalyticalWork." His intention then as now is to give psychoanalysis another method for imagining its ideas and procedures by showing how alchemy bears directly on psychological life, more clinically immediate and less spiritually progressivist.

Edited by the distinguished philosopher Edward S. Casey, Philosophical Intimations, Volume 8 of the Uniform Edition of the Writings of James Hillman, collects Hillman’s papers and lectures on language and learning; cosmology, metaphysics, and mathematics; philosophy of psychology; the aesthetic dimension; and future time; as well as three conversations with Casey on the need for metaphysics.

Troufalá a rozhněvaná řada vášnivých rozhovorů a dopisů je sžíravým komentářem a kritikou nejen dnešní psychoterapie, ale také takřka všech významných aspektů současného života – sexuality, politiky, médií, životního prostředí i městského života. James Hillman, kontroverzní a neortodoxní jungiánský psycholog, muž, kterého Robert Bly nazval „nejživější a nejoriginálnější americký psycholog od dob Williama Jamese“ – společně s Michaelem Venturou – provokativním fejetonistou L. A. Weekly a romanopiscem – otřásají mnoha obecně přijímanými přesvědčeními o našich životech, duši i společnosti. Dva brilantní a troufalí intelektuální divoši porušují pravidla a jezdí na červenou, aby udeřili do samotného jádra našich domněnek a pokáceli všechna naše zlatá telata.
