Psychological Types by C.G. Jung
4.0
4/5
Psychological, Psychoanalysis
“If it is permissible to conceive the natural creature as a “work of art,” then of course man in the Dionysian state has become a natural work of art too; but in so far as the natural creature is decidedly not a work of art in the ordinary sense of the word, he is nothing but sheer Nature, unbridled, a raging torrent, not even an animal that is restricted to itself and the laws of its being."
The first third is a slog through detailed accounts and historical tangents. Then onward, the book adopts a more palatable structure with Jung’s theories becoming more forefront and the comparisons more engrossing.
