Abstract

When Carl jung wrote Symbols of Transformation1 in 1912 it not only signaled his split from Sigmund Freud. It also equated to the beginning of what is now nearly 100 years of jungian Analytical psychology. Sixty three years later, in 1975, James hillman wrote Re-visioning psychology.2 Whilst crediting jung as the main precursor to his ideas, hillman nevertheless had in writing this book, established a new school of jungian psychology… Archetypal psychology. In her review of Re-visioning psychology Marianne Jacoby says that Hillmans objective was to establish a "language that is not soul-killing"3. Then in 2004 came Wolfgang giegerich's The End of Meaning and the Birth of Man (which has the long subtitle: An Essay about the stage reached in the history of consciousness and an analysis of C. G. jung's Psychological Project).
