Through his clinical work and extensive engagement with major figures of the philosophical tradition, Jung developed an original and pluralistic psycho-ethical model based on the cooperation of consciousness with the unconscious mind. By drawing on direct quotes from all of Jung's collected works, The Red Book, and his interviews and seminars - as well as from seminal texts by Kant, Nietzsche, Aristotle and Augustine - Giovanni Colacicchi provides a philosophically-grounded analysis of the ethical relevance of Jung's analytical psychology and of the concept of individuation which is at its core. The author argues that in Jung's depth-psychological thinking Kantian deontology, Nietzschean perspectivism, Aristotelian virtue ethics and Christian morality all take part in shaping a moral and ethical character. Psychology as Ethicswill be essential reading for researchers with an interest in the history of ideas and the philosophy of the unconscious, as well as for therapists and counsellors who wish to ground their psychodynamic work in its philosophical context. It will also be a key reference for undergraduate and postgraduate courses and seminars in Jungian and post-Jungian studies, philosophy, psychoanalytic studies, psychology, religious studies and the social sciences. | Psychology As Ethics by Giovanni Colacicchi, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
