R. F. C. Hull Knihy

Rozhovory z let 1933–1961 jedinečným způsobem zachycují vývoj osobnosti C. G. Junga a jeho ducha. Soubor tvoří zhruba 20 interview pro noviny, časopisy, rozhlas i televizi. Obsažen je i rozhovor s Johnem Freemanem pro televizní stanici BBC, jenž proslul tím, že se v něm Jung svou slavnou větou „Nemusím věřit, ale vím“ vyjadřuje k víře v Boha. Jung v rozhovorech např. popisuje svůj vztah s Freudem a postoj ke klasické psychoanalýze, vyjadřuje názory na válečnou a poválečnou dobu (včetně odkazů na Československo), na německou mentalitu, odpovídá na obvinění, že kolaboroval s nacismem, vysvětluje základní alchymické koncepty, pojem archetypu či téma osobnostní typologie, zmiňuje se o své rodině. Rozhovory umožňují nahlédnout do způsobu, jakým Jung komunikoval, a odhalují informace, které se jinak v jeho knihách či statích hledají jen těžko.

The Spirit in Man, Art and Literature offers unique and penetrating insights into the lives and opinions of some of the most significant players in the cultural life of the twentieth century. Carl Gustav Jung was at the heart of that cultural life, pioneering, along with Freud, a new interpretation of what it meant to be human in the modern age. This volume reveals the full range of Jung's involvement in this process, from his famous analysis of 'Psychology and Literature' to his landmark texts on Joyce's Ulysses and Picasso's paintings. Jung writes of Freud from the perspective of one who was "permitted a deep glimpse into the mind of this remarkable man," and through the memories and opinions recorded in The Spirit in Man, Art and Literature, the reader is offered a similar privilege.

While Jung is known mainly for his theories on the nature of the unconscious mind, he did have an interest in the paranormal. In this essay, Jung applies his analytical skills to the UFO phenomenon. Rather than assuming that the modern prevalence of UFO sightings are due to extraterrestrial craft, Jung reserves judgment on their origin and connects UFOs with archetypal imagery, concluding that they have become a "living myth." This essay is intriguing in its methodology and implications as to the nature of UFOs and their relation to the human psyche.
