Carl Gustav Jung: Avant-Garde Conservative

By Jay Sherry

Carl Gustav Jung has always been a popular but never a fashionable thinker. His ground-breaking theories about dream interpretation and psychological types have often been overshadowed by charges that he was anti-Semitic and a Nazi sympathizer. This award-winning study considers these allegations in the broader context of Jung's views on culture, politics, and race. In doing so, it provides a carefully considered, historically informed perspective on a figure whose legacy has been misunderstood by admirers and detractors alike.
