more interesting commentary about how the typical Jungian view of the "puer aeternus" (eternal youth) as an overwhelmingly harmful archetype is a half truth at best, the puer aeternus instead in Hillman's view forming a necessary dynamic with the senex (wise old man) archetype + the engrams of Christian metaphysics operating in the modern Western consciousness with harmful results (not just in psychology)

super interesting book - interviews by an Italian psychologists with James Hillman going into details such as the differences between Latinate and Germanic cultures, how psychologists have to build upon and deviate from their teachers, the relevance of D. H. Lawrence and Gustave Flaubert for understanding the psychology of modern man, and so on... don't always understand Hillman but he always makes me think
