Über diesen Titel

This audiobook, narrated by William Roberts, explores the evolution of consciousness through the archetypes and myths that are universal to all humanity.

The Origins and History of Consciousness draws on a full range of world mythology to show how individual consciousness undergoes the same archetypal stages of development as human consciousness as a whole. Erich Neumann was one of C. G. Jung's most creative students and a renowned practitioner of analytical psychology in his own right. In this influential book, Neumann shows how the stages begin and end with the symbol of the Uroboros, the tail-eating serpent. The intermediate stages are projected in the universal myths of the World Creation, Great Mother, Separation of the World Parents, Birth of the Hero, Slaying of the Dragon, Rescue of the Captive, and Transformation and Deification of the Hero. Throughout the sequence, the Hero is the evolving ego consciousness.

Featuring a foreword by Jung, this Princeton Classics edition introduces a new generation of listeners to this eloquent and enduring work.

Kritikerstimmen

"No better exposition has come to us of the two Jungian themes: the evolution of consciousness in the history of mankind and the development of personality in the individual." (The Personalist)

"A welcome source of information for all those who are touched by the relationship between man and his myths." (The New York Times)

"There can be no doubt that [Neumann] has brought to his task a remarkable...knowledge of classical mythology, some considerable acquaintance with the comparative study of religion, and a deep understanding of those psychological views and theories evolved by C. G. Jung." (The Times Literary Supplement)

Anyone interested in mythology, or psychological theory should give this a try, not just those who are interested in Jung as Erich Neumann has quite his own take on the works of both Jung and Freud which still hold up to this day and are thought provoking.

William Roberts does not do a great job at making it easy to listen or follow the sentences. It sounds like a 50s radio drama. Would appreciate a re-ecording.

The perfect follow up to C. G. Jungs works.

Great structure and an interesting idea that goes on for a few thousand pages while it could have been a few hundred instead.

I thought this to be a bit long, but the inherent repetition helps with memorization. But even then, it’s impossible to retain all the examples that are given throughout the book.

Sadly the pompous tone of the speaker makes this a very long and unpleasant listen.

Great book, horrible speaker

This book is interesting as an overview of ancient mythology but its grotesque amount and depth of conjectures about the evolution of man, consciousness and the self - which are the core of the book - are predominantly grossly nonsensical. I'm quite fascinated by many of Jung's insights but this, to me, is more of a parody of Jung's thinking than an advancement. Rather, it often reminded me of Freud's obsessive way of conjecturing and generalising everything to fit his main conviction (in his case of sexuality as the ultimate causality).

Gross nonsense
