The book also addresses Jung’s sometimes questionable judgment on politics and gender and previews contemporary extensions of Jungian theory. By privileging the creative psyche and exploring the connections between individual natural environment and social/psychological collective Jung anticipates the new holism offering the promise of reconciling the sciences with the arts humanity with nature. | C.
