Aeon. Studies on the Symbolism of the Self

"Aeon. Studies on the Phenomenology of the Self" is one of the most unusual works in Jung's scientific heritage, located at the intersection of philosophy, psychoanalysis, cultural studies, and religion. The great scholar addresses the symbolic representation of psychic wholeness, the ideal historical example of which, according to his theory, is Jesus Christ. This idea allows Jung to explore the multifaceted meaning of the early Christian symbol of the Savior - the Fish, the philosophy of the dichotomy of the images of Christ and Antichrist, as well as the Persian, Jewish, Gnostic, and even alchemical aspects of Christian symbolism.
