Features: At the time of its publication, Jung Cult made a strong impact on readers with its bold, original perspectives and unique insights. In this book, Richard Noelle uses newly discovered records and materials to present the "true Jung of history": the influence of 19th-century mysticism, neo-paganism, social Darwinism, and natural science on him, the school he established among his followers centered around his personal charisma and personality, and the subsequent development of this charismatic school, the racialist 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, and his conflicts with Freud, offering readers fresh perspectives. Richard Noelle's book takes Jung studies to a new level, providing a fresh perspective on understanding Jung's 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.
