Carl Jung by Paul Bishop
Carl Jungis a new biography of the influential yet controversial twentieth-century pioneer of modern psychology.
"This excellent addition to the Critical Lives series is, says Paul Bishop, 'a biography of Jung in books' In particular, Bishop locates Jung in a philosophical and literary context, demonstrating 'how deeply and profoundly Jung belongs to a broader stream of thought in German culture.' For Jung, his library was his laboratory and so this approach is especially valuable in revealing the significance of analytical psychology as a cultural project. . . . a wonderfully rich intellectual biography." --Guardian "A complex life has been given a sensitive and complex treatment, with many small corners of thought to dwell upon. Bishop has given both the student of Jung and the casual reader much to enjoy." --Metapsychology "Unlike many biographies of Jung, this is a balanced, unbiased portrayal. As part of the 'Critical Lives' series, the volume looks at Jung's life from childhood to death, examining the culture, contemporary thought, and philosophy of the time period." --Choice
Paul Bishop holds the William Jacks Chair of Modern Languages at the University of Glasgow and is the author of Reading Goethe at Midlife: Ancient Wisdom, German Classicism, and Jung (2011) and Jung's 'Answer to Job': A Commentary (2002).
