This review is from: Jung on Alchemy (Paperback)
Jung wrote extensively on non-rational human endeavors such as mythology and alchemy. This work is an attempt to bring together for the first time all of his thoughts on the subject from various works. The book is quite fascinating, and a great tribute to Jung.
Of additional outstanding value is the introduction by Schwartz-Salant detailing the problems studying alchemy as a serious system today, and the importance of Jung's work in understanding why important early scientists were so captivated by this field. In general, I would recommend this work to anyone who is a fan of Jung, is studying the history of thought, or is interested in the history of science. However it assumes a base understanding of early philosophy and/or alchemy and so may not be the best introductory work to the subject. |
