Features: Upon its publication, The Jung Cult immediately made 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 influence of 19th-century mysticism, neo-paganism, social Darwinism, and natural science on him, the school he established around his personal charisma and personality among his followers, and the subsequent development of this charismatic 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, and his conflicts with Freud, offering readers fresh perspectives. Richard Nor's book advances our understanding of Jung to a new level, providing a new lens through which to examine his life and theories. It will greatly inspire readers interested in philosophy, psychology, sociology, and related fields, 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.
