Taylor & Francis Ltd The Archaic
Book SynopsisThe Archaic takes as its major reference points C.G. Jung''s classic essay, ''Archaic Man'' (1930), and Ernesto Grassi''s paper on ''Archaic Theories of History'' (1990). Moving beyond the confines of a Jungian framework to include other methodological approaches, this book explores the concept of the archaic. Defined as meaning ''old-fashioned'', ''primitive'', ''antiquated'', the archaic is, in fact, much more than something very, very old: it is timeless, inasmuch as it is before time itself. Arche, Urgrund, Ungrund, ''primordial darkness'', ''eternal nothing'' are names for something essentially nameless, yet whose presence we nevertheless intuit.This book focuses on the reception of myth in the tradition of German Idealism or Romanticism (Creuzer, Schelling, Nietzsche), which not only looked back to earlier thinkers (such as Jacob Boehme) but also laid down roots for developments in twentieth-century thought (Ludwig Klages,Trade Review"This much-needed book should go a long way both toward the exploration of the various understandings of the concept of the archaic throughout history, and towards eliciting attention to its significance and relevance for our time. It is a fascinating, outstandingly written collection of individual essays, published under the flawless editorship of Paul Bishop... With fine thinking and writing, polished editing and extensive notes, this is indeed an impressive and useful book... The book is not only a journey through the history of an idea but one of self-discovery too." - Teodora Velletri, University of Essex, UK in ReligionTable of ContentsPart I: Bishop, Introduction: A Brief History of the Archaic.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Carl Jung and Maximus the Confessor on Psychic Development
Book SynopsisIn what ways does psychological development differ from spiritual development and psychological experience from spiritual experience?Bringing together two disparate theories under a trans-disciplinary framework, G. C. Tympas presents a comparison of Carl Jung's theory of psychic development and Maximus the Confessor's model of spiritual progress. An evolutional' relationship between the psychological' and the spiritual' is proposed for a dynamic interpretation of spiritual experience.Carl Jung and Maximus the Confessor on Psychic Development offers a creative synthesis of elements and directions from both theories and further explores:- Jung's views on religion in a dialogue with Maximus' concepts- The different directions and goals of Jung's and Maximus' models- Jung's Answer to Job' in relation to Maximus' theory of final restoration'.Tympas argues that a synthesis of Jung's and Maximus' models compTrade Review'A scholarly yet boldly imaginative account of the fascinating overlaps, echoes and resonances between the thought of C.G. Jung and that of the early Christian theologian Maximus the Confessor. Tympas opens up a genuinely two-way street, so that we find each of these giants illuminating the work of the other in a fresh and original manner. At a time when there is more interest than ever in the psychology of spiritual experience, the interdisciplinary product will be of considerable interest to all those interested in the fields of analytical psychology and religious studies/theology.' - Professor Andrew Samuels, University of Essex'Recently there has been a growing awareness of the wealth of psychological wisdom to be found within the Byzantine ascetic tradition. Dr Tympas brings Carl Gustav Jung into dialogue with Maximos the Confessor, one of the giants of the Byzantine tradition, exploring with learning and insight areas where their approaches to the development of the soul or psyche seem to overlap. Dr Tympas does not oversimplify; he is as attentive to points of contrast as to points of convergence. This is an important book on a subject of increasing importance today.' - Andrew Louth FBA, Professor Emeritus of Patristic and Byzantine Studies, University of Durham, UK and Visiting Professor of Eastern Orthodox Theology, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam'This book will be invaluable for all serious scholars of Jung and Christianity…' - Professor Renos Papadopoulos, from the forewordTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Taylor & Francis William James and The Varieties of Religious Experience
Book SynopsisWilliam James''s The Varieties of Religious Experience was an intellectual landmark, paving the way for current study of psychology, philosophy and religious studies. In this new companion to the Varieties, key international experts provide contemporary responses to James''s book, exploring its seminal historical importance and its modern significance. Locating the Varieties within the context of James''s other works and exploring James''s views on psychology, mysticism, religious experience, emotion and truth, the sixteen articles offer new analyses of the Varieties from the perspectives of postcolonial theory, history, social theory and philosophy.

Taylor & Francis The Dialectics of Myth
Book SynopsisAleksei Fedorovich Losev (1893-1988) was among the greatest Russian philosophers, thinkers, and classicists of the twentieth century. A contemporary of Mikhail Bakhtin, and a scholar of astonishing erudition, his work remained almost unknown to the public until the fall of communism in 1990. The Dialectics of Myth, published here for the first time in English, remains his foremost achievement. Setting out a provocative and spiritually informed account of the way that myth informs secular and religious ideologies, it challenges limited interpretations of myths as mere poetic allegories, primitive scientific constructs, or channels for religious dogma and political fabrication. Insisting upon the miraculous elements of myth, the book creates a powerful and readable defence for mythic experience as a genuine part of consciousness, reality, and being.Trade Review'One hopes that the appearnce of this volume heralds a full biography of Losev.'Table of ContentsChapter I Myth is neither invention nor fiction nor fantastic fabrication. Chapter II Myth is not ideal being. Chapter III Myth is not a scientific nor, more specifically, a primitive scientific construct Chapter IV Myth is not a metaphysical construction Chapter V Myth is neither schema nor allegory Chapter VI Myth is not a poetic work Chapter VII Myth is a personalistic form Chapter VIII Myth is not an especially religious construction Chapter IX Myth is not religious dogma Chapter X Myth is not an historical event as such Chapter XI Myth is miraculous Chapter XII A review of all dialectical elements of myth from the standpoint of the concept of miracle Chapter XIII The final dialectical formula. Chapter XIV The transition to actual mythology and the idea of absolute mythology
