This groundbreaking classic explores the necessity of making connections between our life and soul and developing the main lines of the soul-making process. Hillman: - argues that modern science wrongly ignores religion- asserts the necessity of spirituality in psychology and the idea of soul-making- argues that modern psychology has wrongly ignored religion, and proposes a new psychology infused with spirituality.- points out that therapy is really soul-making, and psychologists must recognize that the human psyche longs for connection with the immortal.- draws on Greek and Renaissance philosophers as well as the ideas of Freud and especially Jung, in outlining the process of soul-making

Two world-renowned psychologists, Marie-Louise von Franz and James Hillman, give detailed accounts of C.G. Jung's personality types. In her essay, "The Inferior Function," Marie-Louise von Franz shows the inferior shadow side of each of the eight kinds of typical functioning, while James Hillman differentiates in his essay, "The Feeling Function," genuine feeling from look-alikes and substitutes. Both essays are a rich source of ideas for study and an enjoyable guide for self-discovery. Full of psychological insights into personal habits, temperaments, and character.

Have you ever watched and listened to any "science versus religion" debate and wondered if they were arguing from facts or emotions? It could be argued emotions, and this is where I make my case. Please note that I''m not trying to shoot down either side but trying to point some things that could improve their debate.

In his powerful bestseller The Soul's Code, James Hillman brilliantly illuminated the central importance of character to our spiritual and emotional lives. Now, in this magnificent new book, Hillman completes his exploration of character with a profound and revolutionary reflection on life's second half."Character requires the additional years," declares Hillman. "The last years confirm and fulfill character." Far from blunting or dulling the self, the accumulation of experience concentrates the essence of our being, heightening our individual mystery and unique awareness of life. Drawing on his grounding in Jungian psychology, Hillman explains here the archetypes and myths that govern the self's realignment in our final years.The Force of Character follows an enriching journey through the three stages of aging--lasting, the deepening that comes with longevity; leaving, the preparation for departure; and left, the special legacy we each bestow on our survivors. Along the way the book explores the meanings and often hidden virtues of characteristic physical and emotional changes, such as loss of memory, alterations in sleep patterns, and the mysterious upsurge in erotic imagination.Steeped in the wisdom of a lifetime, radiant with Hillman's reading in philosophy, poetry, and sacred texts, charged with a piercing clarity, The Force of Character is a book that will change--and affirm--the lives of all who read it.

James Hillman is one of the leading figures in archetypal psychology. This anthology presents carefully selected passages from many of his seminal essays, and work on archetypal psychology.
