It is one of the most fascinating yet difficult and discomfiting of Jung's psychological theories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Rupture of Time\u003c\/em\u003e aims to clarify what Jung really meant by synchronicity, why the idea was so important to him and how it informed his thinking about modern western culture. Areas examined include: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* how the theory fits into Jung's overall psychological model and the significance of its apparent inconsistencies \u003cbr\u003e* the wide range of personal, intellectual and social contexts of Jung's thinking on the topic \u003cbr\u003e* how Jung himself applied the theory of synchronicity within his critique of science, religion, and society \u003cbr\u003e* the continuing relevance of the theory for understanding issues in contemporary detraditionalised religion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing closely on Jung's own writings and statements, this book discloses that the theory of synchronicity is not an inconsequential addendum to analytical psychology but is central to the psychological project that occupied Jung throughout his professional life. This much-needed clarification of one of Jung's central tenets will be of great interest to all analytical psychologists and scholars engaged with Jungian thought.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoderick Main \u003c\/strong\u003eis Lecturer in Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex, and the editor of \u003cem\u003eJung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal\u003c\/em\u003e (Routledge, 1997).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 08, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48261462163677,"sku":"9781583912287","price":174.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/iFBobPcZz39781583912287.webp?v=1785076825","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-rupture-of-time-synchronicity-and-jungs-critique-of-modern-western-culture-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
