Jung on Mythology by C G Jung

Jung on Mythology by C G Jung

At least three major questions can be asked of myth: What is its subject matter? What is its origin? and What is its function? C G Jung's theory is one of the few that purports to answer fully all three questions. This volume collects and organizes the key passages on myth by Jung himself and by some of the prominent Jungian writers after him.

"In this valuable compilation, Segal brings organization, clarity, and structure to Jung's writings on mythology.. By a careful process of selection and contextualization, Segal has succeeded at presenting Jung's best insights on myth, archetype, dream, and religion while eliminating the detours and meanderings that often discourage students encountering Jung for the first time. Highly recommended."--Religious Studies Review

Robert A. Segal is Reader in the Department of Religious Studies, Lancaster University. He is author of The Poimandres as Myth and Joseph Campbell: An Introduction and has edited The Gnostic Jung, The Allure of Gnosticism, and The Myth and Ritual Theory.
