Creative Envy

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the intersection of Jungian psychology and psychoanalysis, the book delves into the archetypal roots of ego defense mechanisms. By analyzing Peter Shaffer's Amadeus, it reveals how envy operates both creatively and defensively in the dynamic between Mozart and Salieri. The author argues that psychoanalysis, influenced by biblical narratives and Christian doctrine, has unfairly stigmatized envy, stemming from cultural pathology that suppresses its revolutionary potential for personal and societal growth.
