Where is Soul? Psychology in Modernity

Giving the lie to psychology's having long ago dropped the word "soul" from its vocabulary, the authors of these essays tenaciously explore the theme of "psychology in modernity" by asking with respect to our times, "Where is soul?"Having come together for a symposium in Berlin in the summer of 2024, Jungian analysts and scholars from Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, England, Spain and the United States presented papers on such topics as interiority and accomplished modernity, Jung's thematization of the spiritual problem of modern man, technology as antichrist, the logic of love in relation to the Holocaust, human dignity, the psychology of simulation, the search for the arcane substance, reflexivity and the edge of the psychological, Mexican shamanic experience as the other of modernity's linguistic turn, and the soulful significance in modern Japan of love suicide, Minamata disease, and the creation of outer space as this pertains to "the birth of man." Introduced by its editors, Mogenson and Power, and with a keynote address by Wolfgang Giegerich, this remarkable collection of essays-each of which carries forward Jung's focus upon the objective psyche-will be of interest for the insights it offers into a wide range of contemporary cultural topics.
