K. G. Jung and the alchemical imagination | Stanton Marlan

The book by Stanton Marlon, an analyst in the spirit of Jung, is a rare and successful combination of deep research, mystical sharpness and simple benevolence. The author boldly explores the secret depths of the unconscious, while maintaining his sense of humor. Meeting with psychoanalytic authors, he remains critical. His analytical approach is similar to a neurosurgeon who reveals the alchemical psychology of Jung, Hillman, Gigerich and others, removing dogmatic metastases and restoring the living essence of their works. With the obvious boldness of a trickster, Marlon begins a philosophical carousel, where Derrida dances to the music of the immortal Pan, Hegel extends his hand to those who are afraid of their Shadow, and the Stone of Philosophers seems to be going through a period of rethinking.

"K.G. Jung and the alchemical imagination" is a kind of love message directed to the soul, at the same time being a post—script for Jungian psychoanalysis of the XX century and an epigraph for alchemical psychology of the XXI century.
