Features: Upon its publication, Jung Cult immediately stirred strong shock among readers with its bold and original perspectives. The book uses newly verified materials and records to present the "true Jung of history": the influence of 19th-century mysticism, neo-paganism, social Darwinism, and natural science on him; the development of the charismatic school established by Jung among his followers; the racist tendenciesed in his writings, and more. This book meticulously and accurately traces the evolution of the Jungian school, the historical origins of the collective unconscious theory and archetypal theory, Jung's conflicts and entanglements with Freud, and offers fresh arguments and evaluations, making it a refreshing read.
