Well-known for his articulation of the "shadow side" of human individuality and culture, C. G. Jung wrote a great deal about the question of evil throughout his life and in scattered places in his work. In this book his position is pieced together from many sources. In his early work on the unconscious, for instance, he considered the role of evil in the mental processes of the severely disturbed. Later, he viewed the question of moral choice within the framework of his ideas about archetypes and discussions about moral choices, conscience, and the continual ethical reflection that is necessary for all of us. The material here includes letters to Freud and Father Victor White and selections from his writings ranging from his Answer to Job to his travel piece on North Africa.

More About the Author
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology (also known as Jungian psychology). Jung's radical approach to psychology has been influential in the field of depth psychology and in counter-cultural movements across the globe. Jung is considered as the first modern psychologist to state that the human psyche is "by nature religious" and to explore it in depth. His many major works include "Analytic Psychology: Its Theory and Practice," "Man and His Symbols," "Memories, Dreams, Reflections," "The Collected Works of Carl G. Jung," and "The Red Book."

An excellent introduction to Jung's thought in his own words,

This review is from: Jung on Evil (Paperback)
This is an excellent introduction to a central area in Jung's thought Evil, the Shadow Side and its integration with the rest of the personality.The selections from Jung's writings are excellent and there are extensive explanatory footnotes from the editor. Jung will convince you that those who supress their shadow side soon see it in others and that one's shadow side has to be accepted not denied. The book contains extensive selections from Answer to Job as well as hard to obtain Jung writings (unless you want to shell out a thousand dollars for his Collected Works). Throught the book, Jung's compassion, vast erudition, and many and varied insights shine through.

Dark,
This review is from: Jung on Evil (Paperback)
a lesser known work by the master that explores the darkest elements of the human experience.Elaine Pagels is the only one I can think of who comes close to the wisdom of Jung on this particular subject. A classic, profound exploration of the dark side.
