The Alchemical Mercurius: Esoteric symbol of Jung's life and works by Mathew Mat

Description: The Alchemical Mercurius by Mathew Mather Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In this book, Mathew Mather explores the allegorical figure of the alchemical Mercurius and how it appears throughout the work of Jung retrieving and contextualising the figure in order the revitalise interest in original Jung. Publisher Description The figure of the alchemical Mercurius features ubiquitously and radically in Jungs later works, but despite this, there has been little research concerning Mercurius in Jungian studies to date. In this book, Mathew Mather explores the figure of the alchemical Mercurius and contextualises and clarifies its significance in Jungs life and works. Placing the alchemical Mercurius as a central concern reveals a Jungian interpretation in which the grail legend, alchemy and precessional astrology, as three thematic threads, converge. In such a treatment, Jungs belief in the dawning of a new platonic month emerges as a central consideration and an esoteric perspective on Jungs life and works is brought more fully to light, constructing a life-myth interpretation. The book is comprised of three parts: Aurea Catena: locating the figure of the alchemical Mercurius within the Western esoteric tradition Daimonic Encounter: the relevance of this figure in Jungs personal life Magnum Opus: Jungs portrayal of this figure in key texts such as Synchronicity, Aion, Mysterium Coniunctionis; and Emma Jung and von Franzs The Grail Legend.The Alchemical Mercurius is a unique contribution to analytical psychology, substantially revealing esoteric Jung and providing valuable perspectives on the theme of his myth for our times. The book will appeal to researchers and academics in the field of analytical psychology as well as postgraduate students. Author Biography Mathew Mather is Lecturer in Media at the Limerick School of Art and Design, Limerick Institute of Technology, Ireland. His research interests include Jungs later works, synchronicity, alchemy, esotericism, art and the psyche.
