James Hillman Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Válka nás děsí – a přesto nás nepřestává fascinovat. Je odvěkým tématem mýtů, dějin i osobních příběhů. Přináší zkázu a mnoho utrpení, ale svým aktérům i obětem mnohdy skýtá intenzivní, téměř opojný pocit vlastní existence. Je to jeden z nejděsivějších fenoménů dějin lidstva, ale zároveň je s nimi neoddělitelně spjatá – a dost možná odhaluje i významné aspekty lidského bytí a skutečnosti vůbec. V knize Válka a její strašlivá láska se americký psycholog James Hillman pouští do nekompromisního zkoumání tohoto rozporuplného fenoménu. Čerpá z dopisů vojáků, záznamů z bojišť, vojenských analýz, starověkých mýtů i myšlenek velkých autorů – od Marka Twaina a Lva Tolstého po Immanuela Kanta, Hannah Arendtovou, Michela Foucaulta či Emmanuela Levinase. Výsledkem je smělá a znepokojivá kniha, která otevírá nové perspektivy, boří iluze a hledá odpověď na otázku, proč je válka tak hluboce zakořeněna v lidské zkušenosti.

Edited and introduced by STANTON MARLAN, Salt and the Alchemical Soul is a collection of three papers from Freudian, Jungian, and Archetypal Psychology, newly edited and introduced, providing excellent examples of different methods and styles of working with images. ERNEST JONES, in his essay "The Symbolic Significance of Salt in Folklore and Superstition," attempts to apply psychoanalysis as a "new science" to an understanding of superstition. C.¿G. JUNG's investigation into alchemy in "Sal" leads him to see salt as the principle of Eros at the base of the self. JAMES HILLMAN, using the image of salt, looks into the alchemical way of psychologizing, in "The Suffering of Salt." (Second, revised edition)

Po klasicích Sigmundu Freudovi a C. G. Jungovi přichází James Hillman s originálním pohledem na sny a práci s nimi. Vychází z klasických teorií, ale netradičně je obohacuje o nový přístup čerpající z poetiky mytologie. Spojuje sny zejména s temnou stránkou duše, s jejími představami a stíny, s obrazy smrti. Hillmanovým řešením v přístupu ke snu je především odvaha k imaginativní, poetické, metaforické svobodě, odvaha k tvořivému ponoru do hlubiny… Na teoretickou část knihy, která je prokládána množstvím příkladů z mýtů i Hillmanovy vlastní praxe, navazují úvahy nad některými konkrétními snovými motivy.

A deeper, richer portrait of Oedipus, the most famous figure in all of Greek tragedy and the (unconscious?!) hero of the basic myth of psychoanalysis by two giants in the fields of mythology and psychology: the eminent mythographer Karl Kerényi and the founder of archetypal psychology, James Hillman. Kerényi widens the Oedipus myth's cultural context by introducing unusual dramatic versions that played in Rome, Paris, Vienna, and London. His authoritative and detailed essays release wonderful insights for even the most casual reader. Hillman takes on Father Freud and his Oedipus complex (i.e., every son wants to kill his father and marry his mother). He inverts the emphasis and asks, Why do fathers kill their sons? Hillman brilliantly proposes that the madness of Oedipus may lie less in his overt crimes than in his-and therapy's-single-minded focus upon "figuring out" one's true identity through a remembering of the past. This relentless search for Oedipus to "know himself" is still with us, still blinds us, still tries to turn people in therapy into Oedipus. Yet Hillman also shows us that, in addition to the curse, murder, incest, and disease, the myth of Oedipus contains beauty, blessing, love, and loyalty.

MARlE-LOUlSE von FRANZ, a prominent figure in analytical psychology, spent much of her life in Zurich, working closely with C.G. Jung for nearly thirty years. As a co-founder of the Jung Institute in Kusnacht, she has established herself as a leading analyst and prolific writer, frequently lecturing on her insights into Jungian psychology. In her classic study of the "Peter Pan" syndrome, von Franz examines the concept of Puer Aeternus, or the "eternal child," which embodies a youthful spirit resistant to adult commitments in work and relationships. She illustrates how this childish innocence can impede self-actualization, leading to a life filled with adolescent fantasies and delusions. Through analyses of works like Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince and Bruno Goetz's Kingdom Without Space, von Franz delves into the negative aspects of the puer archetype, linking it to the mother complex, Don Juanism, and homosexuality. Her work encourages both men and women to recognize this aspect of themselves and channel its energy in a constructive manner. The relevance of her observations resonates widely, as many individuals find themselves trapped in a state of dreamy adolescence, hesitant to leave the comfort of childhood. This enduring study significantly impacts contemporary psychology, presenting Jungian concepts with remarkable rigor and depth. The new edition also features an extensive bibliography and a comprehensive inde

Alchemical Psychology combines all of Hillman's papers on the alchemical imagination from 1980 to the present. Hillman called the early attempt to present his way of grasping this material, in the 1960s at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, "Alchemical Opus/AnalyticalWork." His intention then as now is to give psychoanalysis another method for imagining its ideas and procedures by showing how alchemy bears directly on psychological life, more clinically immediate and less spiritually progressivist.
