Self. Daniel R.

The book of Renata Daniel is an exciting and cognitive acquaintance with a new Jungian author for the Russian -speaking reader. Her book is devoted to the most significant and most mysterious Jungian concept, the most powerful driving strength and the essence of the soul, the psyche of man, the society and the Universe of the Self in its relationship with the human ego. Despite the numerous definitions and descriptions of the self, it can be comprehended only through your own experience and, like any archetype, through images and symbols. Renata Daniel gives many striking examples of the manifestation of the self at the collective and individual level, in the historical perspective and in our time, while considering not only myths and fairy tales, but also artistic works, films and phenomena of modern life. The author’s goal is not so much to teach (although this, of course, too) as to expand the reader’s eyes, add a new line to the prism through which we look at the world around him and correlate it with our inner world, help the reader see and feel the movement of the eternal in Modern, in itself, in other people, in society and in the world.
