Aspects of the Feminine by C.G. Jung - 2003

Routledge/Viva Books, 2003. 3rd edition. Softcover. New. `Love is a force of destiny whose power reaches from heaven to hell.` So Jung advises while reflecting on `The Love Problem of a Student`, an essay contained in this volume. But it is not just love that Jung speaks of in this book. Taking as its theme Jung`s interpretation of the feminine principle in his hugely influential theories about the inner world of the individual, it guides the reader from the mythological archetype of the mother-figure to the experience of women in twentieth-century Europe, explaining along the way concepts crucial to Jung`s understanding of the personality, such as animus and anima. Many of his contentions have become the assumptions of the generations growing up in the twenty-first century. Aspects of the Feminine is a provocative, controversial book which offers readers the opportunity to discover at first hand just how radical Jung`s arguments were. Printed Pages: 224. NA
