essays on a science of mythology
C. G. Jung
Synopsis "essays on a science of mythology"
Essays on a Science of Mythology is a cooperative work between C. Kerényi, who has been called "the most psychological of mythologists," and C. G. Jung, who has been called "the most mythological of psychologists." Kerényi contributes an essay on the Divine Child and one on the Kore (the Maiden), together with a substantial introduction and conclusion. Jung contributes a psychological commentary on each essay. Both men hoped, through their collaboration, to elevate the study of mythology to the status of a science. In "The Primordial Child in Primordial Times" Kerényi treats the child-God as an enduring and significant figure in Greek, Norse, Finnish, Etruscan, and Judeo-Christian mythology. He discusses the Kore as Athena, Artemis, Hecate, and Demeter-Persephone, the mother-daughter of the Eleusinian mysteries. Jung speaks of the Divine Child and the Maiden as living psychological realities that provide continuing meaning in people's lives. The investigations of C. Kerényi are continued in a later study, Eleusis: Archetypal Image of Mother and Daughter (Princeton).
(1875-1961) Psiquiatra suizo, pensador influyente y fundador de la psicología analítica (también conocida como psicología junguiana). El enfoque radical de Jung de la psicología ha sido influyente en el campo de la psicología y en los movimientos contraculturales de todo el mundo. Jung es considerado el primer psicólogo moderno que afirma que la psique humana es "por naturaleza religiosa" y en explorarla en profundidad. Sus muchas obras principales incluyen la psicología analítica: su teoría y práctica; el hombre y sus símbolos; los recuerdos, los sueños, las reflexiones; las obras recopiladas de Carl G. Jung; y El Libro Rojo.
