Beschreibung
Among C.G. Jung's vast works, the author finds answers to speculative questions in contemporary philosophy. Taking his thought beyond the healing metaphor, with which Jung is usually associated as a psychotherapist, Pauson presents Jung's manyfaceted myth of meaning as a vital contender in the contemporary arena of philosophical ideas. As a creative thinker open to the irrational facts of experience, Jung employed a variety of methods and crossed the boundaries of many disciplines. His contribution to speculative thought extends to the areas of epistemology, metaphysics, aesthetics, education, religion, the problem of evil, and the question of life after death.

«Professor Pauson's book opens a way through C.G. Jung's multitudinous writings which offers a unified grasp of the whole...This book is indispensible to anyone looking for the means to acquire a grasp upon the views of this seminal, voluminous, and multifaceted thinker.» (Edward Goodwin Ballard, Tulane University)
«Dr. Pauson has given us a much-needed study of Jung's ideas and concepts from a philosophical standpoint. It is a delight to see such difficult problems traced with skill and charm, to immerse oneself in the relaxed and graceful style and to continue pondering some of the issues long after the book has been put down. Despite the spate of books emerging recently in the Jungian mode, this was the one long lacking in the canon.» (Richard W. Wiseman, San Francisco State University)
«Ms. Pauson has done an excellent job in selecting from Jung's extensive and diverse works those particular aspects most pertinent to contemporary philosophical questions. At the same time, Jungian concepts and categories are explained adequately without cluttering the text and overwhelming the reader with unnecessary technical details.» (Lucinda A. Huffaker, Critical Review of Books in Religion)
