so who here is familiar with the work of Carl G. Jung?
i dabbled with his stuff a bit in high school and through some of college. i think it was primarily during my "don't really think there's a god, but spirituality sounds ok" phase of life and Jung has always fit in rather well with that mindset. if you haven't read anything by him, i definitely suggest it, if you're into physological literature that's not really so much scientific as it is introspective, observational and "fun."
the connections he makes between people and their minds typically revolve around a more ethereal sense of mind. the connections between human beings on different sides of the planet, what makes them similar, etc. etc.
that kind of stuff always appealed to me, though i haven't really put much investment in Jung in a while now (thankfully allowing me to avoid the title of "Jungian" [man, people will make an obscure group out of anything, won't they?]).
so now, a new, unreleased book of Jung's, "The Red Book" is finally going to be released to the world. or, i think it's out in Germany now and the English translation will be released next week.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/20/magazine/20jung-t.html?_r=2that's a pretty good article on the whole thing.
amazon is currently taking preorders, though i haven't put my money down for it yet. also, the first edition hard cover is over $100 which...well, i'm not sure about yet. but the book sounds like it'd be up my alley and might be up yours (HA) as well.
so the whole concept of the book seems interesting to me, but anyone else here familiar with this?
