Review:One of the most important books to be published in recent memory. Jung's seminal oeuvre is not only important as a psychology book and specifically the study of the "Archetypes"; it is a critical study in the history of Western scholarship in general. It will go down in history in the company of works by Blake and De Lubicz. Read more

Review:Unfortunately, this book reflects how the institutional "Jungians" lack a real sense and knowledge of the spiritual dimension. Their understanding of symbols and archetypes has devolved to the secular psychological view of images and ideas. This book is one of many now which return Jung's rich multi-dimensional comprehension back to flatland. The pictures, however, are attractive. Read more

Review:I read this volume while preparing to teach a summer General Psychology course and was absolutely blown away by how relevant Jung's thinking is to today's world.

This powerful book is so far removed from the Gen Psy textbook blather about Jung, (basically blowing him off in a paragraph or two as "a former disciple of Freud who focused on dreams and Christianity and had a falling out with the great master..."),that I found myself marvelling over it and reading passages out loud to my long-...

Review:Amanda presents physics from an autobiographical point of view that is not only entertaining, but also explores the deep underbelly of physics from an often philosophical point of view. Only one equation (actually and identity) but very clear portraits of modern physics and physicists! Read more

Review:We think so often about being right....Shulz caused me to think about wrongness in a different light. She included several important stories about people who were wrong and eventually recognized it, and the powerful change that occurred as a result. This is a book I will read again soon. Read more

Review:This book is really a propaganda piece whose primary objective was to rouse French people to resist German occupiers. Published under enemy censorship, it reads between the lines as an appeal to French guilt about not facing up to their responsibilities. Sartre risked his life in the underground and hoped that his fellow countrymen would get the same message. It was written deliberately in a pseudo-Germanic, Heidegger-type complicated style to fool German censors into thinking that it was a w... Read more

Review:Although he presents some important ideas in this too-big work, Sartre the closet Cartesian, whose systematization of existential thought make Camus and Marcel abandon the label altogether, writes so badly that even his idol Heidegger seems readable by comparison. You're better off with someone else's summary of Sartre's philosophical thought; this book isn't worth the effort. Read more

Review:As an Australian interested in American history and ideas, this was an interesting book for me. Menand manages to blend the lives of four very different people to tell a story of the development of a school of thought called pragmatism. Some of his writing is exceptional with digressions into the fascinating social history of the United States following the civil war. The way he manages to combine topics diverse as spiritualism, mathematics, document forgery and race relations into a single narr... Read more

Review:This is the most landmark work ever written in the field of dream interpretation. That doesn't mean that Freud was necessarily right about everything, but this is the book which provides the "benchmark" for all of the subsequent monographs on dream interpretation which have come since 1900. One could even say that the book was a benchmark for itself as it underwent a great many revisions between 1900-1920 or so. Welcome to modern day psychology: the realm of Sigmund Freud.

The work co... Read more

Review:A helpful insight into the psychology of dreams for beginners . Only if Freud had lived in times when he could have interacted with the Tibetan Buddhist masters of the Drram yoga :) that would have been a great research he could have done Read more
