He writes: Well, finally I have some reading for you to move on in route to our Mercy Weakened [was that spelling of "weekend" intentional?- PS]. As one of the long term goals of the group is to feel more and more comfortable and confident reading Jung in the original, I am going to suggest the following:
Ch. 5 of Jung's Psychological Types and as much of Vol 9i of the Collected Works (The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious) as the individual can manage.
Carol shares: "I found Collected Works, Volume 9, Part I : Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious, in a Modern Library collection of Jung's works entitled :The Basic Writings of C.G. Jung, edited by Violet Staub de Laszlo., copyright 1959. This book was in our local public library.
I have a clarification question on the other reading - Chapter 5 of Psychological Types. Is the title of this chapter The Type Problem in Poetry? Note: Angela confirmed with Angelo that this is indeed the title of Chapter 5.
Stuart adds: If I may, IX i is Titled Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious. (IX ii is Aion). The version almost universally referred to, for example in footnotes of other books on Jungian Psychology, is published by Princeton University Press, Copyright 1959, fifth printing 1977. A paperback edition appeard in 1980. Including the Appendix there 712 paragraphs on 384 pages. It is important to be able to refer to paragraphs, in class and on other occassions.
Also if it helps the ISBN is 0-691-09761-5.
I have known people who have bought used copies of the CW off Ebay, other ordered them from Princeton, but any sizeable library should have it.
As you complete the readings, feel free to use this blog to share some intial observations and questions for the group, either by posting a comment (by clicking the link at the end of this post) in response to this post, or being added as an author to create your own post.
Cheers,
