In 1934, Erich Neumann, considered by many to have been Carl Gustav Jung's foremost disciple,sent Jung a handwritten note: "I will pursue your suggestion of elaborating on the 'SymbolicContributions' to the JacobEsau problem . . . The great difficulty is the rather depressingimpossibility of a publication." Now, eighty years later, in Jacob and Esau: On the CollectiveSymbolism of the Brother Motif, his important work is finally published.In this newly discovered manuscript, Neumann sowed the seeds of his later works. It provides awindow into his original thinking and creative writing regarding the biblical subject of Jacob andEsau and the application of the brother motif to analytical psychology.Neumann elaborates on the central role of the principle of opposites in the human soul,contrasting Jacob's introversion with Esau's extraversion, the sacred and the profane, the innerand the outer aspects of the Godimage, the shadow and its projection, and how the old ethicexpressed, for example, in the expulsion of the scapegoatperpetuates evil.Mark Kyburz, translator of C. G. Jung's The Red Book, has eloquently rendered Neumann's textinto English. Erel Shalit's editing and introduction provide an entre into Neumann's work onthis subject, which will be of interest to a wide range of readers, from lay persons toprofessionals interested in Jungian psychology and Jewish and religious studies.Erich Neumann was born in Berlin in 1905. He emigrated to Israel in 1934 and lived in Tel Avivuntil his death in 1960. For many years he lectured and played a central role at Eranos, theseminal conference series in analytical psychology. His writings include Depth Psychology and aNew Ethic, The Origins and History of Consciousness, and The Great Mother. Thecorrespondence between C. G. Jung and Neumann was published in 2015.Dr. Erel Shalit is a Jungian psychoanalyst in Israel and founding director of the AnalyticalPsychotherapy Program at Bar Ilan University.
