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. The ‘Psychological’ and the ‘Spiritual’: An evolutional relationship. Jung and the Post-Jungians on Religion: Breakthroughs and Limitations. Maximus and Jung on the Foundations of the Psyche. The Directions and the Stages of Psychic Development. The Psychic Functions and the Spiritual Experience.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Vicissitudes of Totemism: One Hundred Years
Book SynopsisAfter being the subject of many studies up until 1914, totemism seemed to disappear from the literature. The publication of Freud's work Totem and Taboo was initially greeted with silence, and subsequently with critical and hostile reactions. C. Levi-Strauss was one of the few to devote a book to totemism but considered it as an illusion, although a number of prominent members of the English school of Social Anthropology contested this view, describing the direction adumbrated by Freud's enquiry as "highly pertinent".Totemism appears in Freud's work as a way of dealing with one of the canonical forms of human destructiveness, namely parricide. Why did eminent men find it impossible to utilise Freud's book and those studies that followed it in the interwar period?The mass murders in Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, however different they may have been, both generated a profound sense of horror that made their consequences largely unrepresentable for Europeans for more than thirty years. Did this delay, and the attitudes of the following generations towards authority, result from an unconscious logic of "resistance" aimed at re-establishing refusals that did not take place at the time? The Western world seems to have forgotten the strength of the mixed family ties of tribes, casts, and religions that are in fact at work in the psychic life of a great number of men and women in the world.Table of ContentsPreface -- Introduction -- An outline of the situation of totemism in anthropology in the years following the First World War -- From the 1920s to the Second World War -- Returning to the circumstances of the publication and translation of Totem and Taboo -- Totemism and anthropology after the Second World War -- Psychoanalytic interpretation: with and without the patient -- The misfortunes of ambition -- The evolution of practices -- Beyond nature and culture -- The new possibility of discussions on the principle axes of Freud’s thought in Totem and Taboo -- Totem and Taboo, politics, and law -- Totemic systems and totalitarianisms: the point of view of Totem and Taboo -- The price of murderous consent? -- Summary of the main lines of Freud’s essay
