Um mito moderno sobre coisas vistas no céu

De C. G. Jung

Neste trabalho Jung demonstra o surgimento de um novo mito, as necessidades psicológicas que o motivam, e sua roupagem moderna: os discos voadores. O boato mundial sobre os "discos voadores" coloca um problema que desafia o psicólogo enquanto profissional e médico das coisas da alma e da psique individual e social por uma série de motivos. A primeira pergunta é: Os discos voadores são reais ou simples produtos da fantasia? Esta questão não foi resolvida, ainda, de forma alguma. Se são reais, o que são, então? Se são fantasias, por que ela exerce tamanha atração e fascínio?

Avaliações de Um mito moderno sobre coisas vistas no céu

[arten60 · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

Although this book is a little dated it is still a excellent read. For me the Mind does play a very important aspect in this phenomena and the great man gives us some excellent insights into the collective psyche.

I was referred to this book by listening to a podcast from Terence McKenna. Tons of interesting points fill this short book. I knew it was going to be good when in the Introduction Jung writes, "As we know from ancient Egyptian history, they are manifestations of psychic changes which always appear at the end of one Platonic month and at the beginning of another. Apparently they are changes in the constellation of psychic dominants, of the archetypes, or 'gods' as they used to be called, which bring about, or accompany, long-lasting transformations of the collective psyche. This transformation started in the historical era and left its traces first in the passing of the aeon of Taurus into that of Aries, and then of Aries into Pisces, whose beginning coincides with the rise of Christianity. We are now nearing that great change which may be expected when the spring-point enters Aquarius." AS usual, Jung presents deep ideas very simply, making for easy understanding.
