Features: At the time of its publication, Jung Cult immediately created a strong impact on readers with its bold, original perspectives and unique insights. In this book, Richard Nor uses newly discovered records and materials to present the "true Jung of history": the influences he received from 19th-century mysticism, neo-paganism, social Darwinism, and natural science, the school he established around his personal charisma and personality among his followers, and the subsequent development of this charisma-driven school, the racist tendencies in his writings, and more. Based on a meticulous review and analysis of these detailed materials, the author reevaluates the evolution of Jung's school under his leadership, the historical origins of his theories of the collective unconscious and archetypes, his conflicts with Freud, and more, offering fresh and innovative perspectives. Richard Nor's book advances our research on Jung to a new stage, providing a new lens through which to understand his life and theories. This book will greatly inspire readers interested in philosophy, psychology, sociology, and related issues, while also serving as an important reference for scholars engaged in the study of the history of science, psychiatry, and philosophy, laying a solid foundation for future Jungian research and critique.
