What is Soul?
«
"Among contemporary Jungian writers, Wolfgang Giegerich stands out for the scope and depth of his insights into the historical and philosophical foundations of Jung’s work and their implications for the future of psychology as a domain of human experience and investigation. With the publication of What Is Soul? he presents the most comprehensive discussion of his position since The Soul’s Logical Life. What Is Soul? demonstrates once again how Giegerich’s exceptional command of the philosophical tradition can inform our understanding of Jung. Encountering Hofmannsthal’s Letter of Lord Chandos, to take but one example, in a discussion of modern psychology provides a moment of pure intellectual pleasure, while at the same time reminding the reader of the time of crisis within which Jung worked. Jungians of all persuasions often speak of soul work, but Giegerich gives us a picture of the work of soul. His is a complex, but always stimulating voice that deserves our continued attention." - George B. Hogenson, Ph.D., Chicago Society of Jungian Analysts; author of Jung’s Struggle with Freud
