El libro rojo: Liber Novus

Rate this book
Si bien se supo de su existencia por más de ochenta años, El Libro rojo nunca había sido publicado ni estuvo disponible para el amplio número de estudiosos y seguidores de Jung. La publicación de esta obra, en una versión corregida y en formato menor, al no incluir las imágenes de la versión facsímil original (también publicada por El Hilo de Ariadna), permite acceder al gran público a este libro central del reconocido investigador, psiquiatra y psicólogo suizo. Con un estudio preliminar de uno de los más destacados estudiosos de la obra de Jung, como lo es Sonu Shamdasani, este libro posibilita estudiar la auto experimentación de Jung por medio de sus fuentes primarias y comprender la génesis de sus trabajos posteriores, a la vez que arroja una nueva luz respecto de la recuperación de la realidad del alma humana y la constitución de una nueva psicología. La presente edición castellana se realizó bajo el cuidado y supervisión de Bernardo Nante, reconocido investigador de C.G.Jung y sus fuentes.

Carl Gustav Jung (/jʊŋ/; German: [ˈkarl ˈɡʊstaf jʊŋ]), often referred to as C. G. Jung, was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion; archetypes, and the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. He was a prolific writer, many of whose works were not published until after his death.

The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development.

Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, and synchronicity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, has been developed from Jung's theory of psychological types.

Though he was a practising clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas such as Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. Jung's interest in philosophy and the occult led many to view him as a mystic, although his ambition was to be seen as a man of science. His influence on popular psychology, the "psychologization of religion", spirituality and the New Age movement has been immense.

Un libro que presenta múltiples desafíos para poder digerirlo, una mezcla extraña de sueños, filosofía, Hermenéutica bíblica y de textos mitológicos y ciencia, es un libro difícilmente de catalogar como científico por ahora, aunque las imágenes arquetípicas son dignas de ser estudiadas.

Por esa misma razón no les debes de quitar sus reliquias a los magos rojos. El libro tiene una vibra bastante fuerte, ha sido de verdad un reto y siento que necesito saber otras cosas más para darle algún sentido pragmático.
