The Soul Always Thinks: Collected English Papers, Volume IV

by Wolfgang Giegerich

C. G. Jung regarded the soul to be a reality in its own right that reflects itself in all manner of images and events, symbols and traditions. In this fourth volume of his Collected English Papers, Giegerich recalls the soul to the inwardness of its own home territory by bringing out the thought-character of the self-creating, self-unfolding logical life that it is. In thorough-going critical engagements with other authors in the field the book demonstrates specific instances where psychology fails to do its job due to faulty presuppositions, above all psychology’s failure to face the modern world. It emphasizes the active role of the mind in soul making as the making of psychic reality. It addresses the questions of the future of psychology and whether progress in psychology is possible.
