Jung's classic essay, \u003cem\u003e'Archaic Man'\u003c\/em\u003e (1930), and Ernesto Grassi's paper on \u003cem\u003e'Archaic Theories of History' \u003c\/em\u003e(1990). Moving beyond the confines of a Jungian framework to include other methodological approaches, this book explores the concept of the archaic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDefined as meaning 'old-fashioned', 'primitive', 'antiquated', the archaic is, in fact, much more than something very, very old: it is timeless, inasmuch as it is before time itself. Archē, Urgrund, Ungrund, 'primordial darkness', 'eternal nothing' are names for something essentially nameless, yet whose presence we nevertheless intuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book focuses on the reception of myth in the tradition of German Idealism or Romanticism (Creuzer, Schelling, Nietzsche), which not only looked back to earlier thinkers (such as Jacob Boehme) but also laid down roots for developments in twentieth-century thought (Ludwig Klages, Martin Heidegger). \u003cem\u003eThe Archaic\u003c\/em\u003e also includes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003estudies of the Germanic dimension of the archaic (Charles Bambach, Alan Cardew)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ea discussion of the mytho-phenomenological approach to the archaic (Robert Josef Kozljanič)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ea series of articles on Jung's understanding of the archaic (Paul Bishop, Susan Rowland, Robert Segal).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to psychoanalysts, anthropologists and phenomenologists, as well as students of psychology, cultural studies, religious studies, and philosophy, as it seeks to rehabilitate a concept of demonstrable and urgent relevance for our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Bishop\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of German at the University of Glasgow.
