the book is very dense in its language, its basically a series of essays by jung about art and creativity. its at times very hard to understand, i had to read it certain paragraphs again to get a better grasp of what he is trying to say. i particurlarly likes his analysis of frued its probably the best part of the book. its very objective and well written, puts his arguments against freudism very succintly which has been confirmed by other experts later than 1930s when he wrote it, so he was a h...more

This is rather a miscellany of texts on various subjects by C.G. Jung, none of them difficult to understand.
Excellent collections of nine essays on philosophy and literature.
Its a random assortment of stuff - kind of a "spare parts" modge podge anthology - but its mostly very interesting and very good - lower rating than most, because alot of it was rather obscure to me, but that with which I'd had previous experience was very interesting. I love how really cutting edge and ahead of his time (by about 50 years) Jung was.
