The Archetypal Imagination (CAROLYN AND ERNEST FAY SERIES IN ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY)
James Hollis leads readers to consider the nature of our human need for meaning in life and for connection to a world less limiting that our own.In The Archetypal Imagination, Hollis offers a lyrical Jungian appreciation of the archetypal imagination. He argues that without the human mind's ability to form energy-filled images that link us to worlds beyond our rational and emotional capacities, we would have neither culture nor spirituality. Drawing upon the work of poets and philosophers, Hollis shows the importance of depth experience, meaning, and connection to an "other" world. Just as humans have instincts for biological survival and social interaction, we have instincts for spiritual connection as well.The author draws upon the work of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies to elucidate the archetypal imagination in literary forms. To underscore the importance of incarnating depth experience, he also examines a series of paintings by Nancy Witt. About the Author James Hollis is executive director of the C. G. Jung Educational Center of Houston.
