Zusatztext Slavin's book opens the space for a much-needed conversation in post-Jungian studies. This book performs a rather difficult feat: it articulates a rigorous academic and philosophic approach to metaphor while remaining true to the Hermetic spirit which it explicitly espouses. This text! with its profundity and playfulness! constitutes a true invocation of the senex-et-puer constellation. It bridges disciplines which have thus far flirted with connecting but have failed to do so in a consistent way. This book is a window through which poststructuralists and imaginal psychologists can look into each other's ideas and actually begin to talk. - Gustavo Beck! Universidad Iberoamericana! Mexico Informationen zum Autor Marc Slavin is a writer living in Oakland, California. He studied archetypal theory at the California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, where he was awarded a PhD in Philosophy and Religion in 2014. Zusammenfassung Metaphor and Imaginal Psychology: A Hermetic Reflection provides the first full-length exploration of the significance of metaphor in post-Jungian psychology. Its portrayal of the mythological figure of Hermes as a personification of metaphor marks an original contribution to the field of metaphor studies.
