Analytical Psychology and German Classical Aesthetics: Goethe, Schiller, and Jung: Volume 1 - The Development of Personality

"Analytical Psychology and German Classical Aesthetics: Goethe, Schiller, and Jung - The Development of the Personality" investigates the extent to which analytical psychology draws on concepts found in German classical aesthetics. It aims to place analytical psychology in the German-speaking tradition of Goethe and Schiller, with which Jung was well acquainted. This volume argues that analytical psychology appropriates many of its central notions from German classical aesthetics, and that, when seen in its intellectual historical context, the true originality of analytical psychology lies in its reformulation of key tenets of German classicism.
