Renowned as one of the architects of psychoanalytic theory, Carl Gustav Jung devoted his career to exploring the unknown depths of the human subconscious, and in doing so left a legacy to the literature, science and sociology of the modern era. In addition to explaining his key ideas - synchronicity, archetypes, the collective subconscious, and introversion/extroversion - this lively introduction examines Jung's cultural criticism of the modern world, his political intuitions, and his later fascination with spiritualism.
