First published in 1990. James Hillman is one of the leading figures in archetypal psychology and one of the most creative minds in psychology. This anthology of his writings presents carefully selected, choice passages from many of his seminal essays and work on archetypal psychology. Fundamental themes in Hillman's thought form the chapters of the book: poetic basis of mind, psychological polytheism, dreams, love, therapy. The book is intended for the reader who wants an overview or introduction to his highly original approach, an approach that draws on mythology, renaissance philosophy, alchemy and critical readings of Jung and Freud.

Alguna vez has visto o escuchado un debate sobre "ciencia contra religi n" y te has preguntado si se basaban en hechos o en emociones? Podr an basarse en emociones, y aqu es donde expongo mi argumento. Por favor, ten en cuenta que no estoy tratando de desacreditar a ninguna de las partes, sino de se alar algunas cosas que podr an mejorar su debate.

On Melancholy & Depression, Volume 11 of the Uniform Edition of the Writings of James Hillman, combines a talk delivered by Hillman in Rome in 1999 on melancholy with an edited transcript of three seminars on the subject of melancholy and depression held at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, California: "In Defense of Melancholy" (1992), "Depressive Syndromes" (1994), and "The Place of Depression in a Manic Civilization" (2000). "The true revolution begins in the individual who can be true to his or her depression. Neither jerking oneself out of it, caught in cycles of hype and despair, nor suffering it through till it turns, nor theologizing it--but discovering the consciousness and depths it wants. So begins the revolution in behalf of soul."--James Hillman, Re-Visioning Psychology

James Hillman "Hinge kood. Iseloomu ja kutsumuse otsingul" Filosoofid ja psühholoogid, alustades Platonist ja lõpetades Jungiga, on uurinud ja arutanud isiksuse põhiolemust. Samas tänapäeva kultuur ei taha tunnistada, et meid kõiki juhib sünnist peale ainulaadne hing, mis kujundab meie elu kulgu. James Hillman pakub oma menuteoses hiilgava käsitluse eneseteadvuse fenomeni "mina (ise)" kohta ning tutvustab paeluvalt inimeluga kaasa saadud müsteeriumi, mis sunnib küsima: "Mis on minu südames see, mida ma pean tegema, kelleks ma pean saama ja mis peab mulle kuuluma? Ja miks?" Ella Fitzgeraldi ja Mahatma Gandhi suguste suurkujude elulugude näitel väidab Hillman, et iseloom ongi saatus, et igas indiviidis on palju enamat, kui saab seletada pelgalt geneetika ja keskkonna mõjuga. Tema töö tulemus on läbimõeldud ja mõjuvõimas teos, mis aitab mõista inimese tõelist loomust ning õpetab märkama ja ära tundma rohkeid valikuvõimalusi kõiges - olgu tegemist laste kasvatamise, erialase või ühiskondliku pühendumisega -, et meist igaüks võiks oma kutsumust kuulates milleski suurepäraseks saada. James Hillman (1926-2011) oli psühholoog, jungiaanlik analüütik ja postjungiaanliku "arhetüüpse psühholoogia" looja. Ta õpetas ja tegi teadust Yale'i, Syracuse'i, Chicago ja Dallase ülikoolis ning oli Dallase humanitaarteaduste ja kultuuri instituudi kaasrajaja. Ta on kirjutanud veerandsada aimeraamatut, millest enamik on olnud New York Timesi bestsellerid.

A deeper, richer portrait of Oedipus, the most famous figure in all of Greek tragedy and the (unconscious? ) hero of the basic myth of psychoanalysis by two giants in the fields of mythology and psychology: the eminent mythographer Karl Ker nyi and the founder of archetypal psychology, James Hillman. Ker nyi widens the Oedipus myth's cultural context by introducing unusual dramatic versions that played in Rome, Paris, Vienna, and London. His authoritative and detailed essays release wonderful insights for even the most casual reader. Hillman takes on Father Freud and his Oedipus complex (i.e., every son wants to kill his father and marry his mother). He inverts the emphasis and asks, Why do fathers kill their sons? Hillman brilliantly proposes that the madness of Oedipus may lie less in his overt crimes than in his-and therapy's-single-minded focus upon "figuring out" one's true identity through a remembering of the past. This relentless search for Oedipus to "know himself" is still with us, still blinds us, still tries to turn people in therapy into Oedipus. Yet Hillman also shows us that, in addition to the curse, murder, incest, and disease, the myth of Oedipus contains beauty, blessing, love, and loyalty.

This volume includes the major Eranos lecture "The Animal Kingdom in the Human Dream," and Hillman's contributions to the out-of-print "bestiary" Dream Animals (with Margot McLean), as well as the essays "Going Bugs"; "Nature in the Doghouse"; "The Elephant in the Garden of Eden"; "Imagination is Bull"; and shorter interviews and penetrating conversations on the animal theme.

Edited by the distinguished philosopher Edward S. Casey, Philosophical Intimations, Volume 8 of the Uniform Edition of the Writings of James Hillman, collects Hillman's papers and lectures on language and learning; cosmology, metaphysics, and mathematics; philosophy of psychology; the aesthetic dimension; and future time; as well as three conversations with Casey on the need for metaphysics.

Em latim, anima significa alma, ou psique. o termo que Jung utilizou ao deparar-se com a interioridade feminina do homem. Anima aquilo pelo que os homens se apaixonam; ela os possui enquanto humores e desejos, motivando suas ambi es e instigando emo es e os estados mentais racionais. Na extens o do significado que James Hillman faz do termo na psicologia de Jung, a anima tamb m pertence interioridade das mulheres, e n o somente quilo que toca seus relacionamentos com os homens. Nesta obra, o autor se aprofunda na clarifica o dos humores, das personalidades, de defini es e imagens da anima atrav s do tempo trazendo com sua profundidade e coragem, e de forma surpreendente, os caminhos mais ocultos de sentimentos, problemas e fantasias que a no o de anima nos proporciona como arqu tipo do Feminino universal.

Moving Jungian psychology from types to images, to an image-based archetypal psychology, is James Hillman's concern in this volume. This volume leads from Hillman's principal essay on typology, "Egalitarian Typologies versus the Perception of the Unique," to his expansive "Inquiry into Image." Hillman instigates an active re-visioning, re-imagining, of psychology as a self-generative activity of the soul: "An image is given by the imagining perspective and can only be perceived by an act of imagining."

Edited by Glen Slater, Senex & Puer, Vol. 3 of the Uniform Edition of the Writings of James Hillman, for the first time, collects Hillman's running encounters with a primary psychological pattern-an archetype that arises alongside the very attempt to fashion psychological perspective. Senex and puer are Latin terms for "old man" and "youth," and personify the poles of tradition, stasis, structure, and authority on one side, and immediacy, wandering, invention and idealism on the other. The senex consolidates, grounds, and disciplines; the puer flashes with insight and thrives on fantasy and creativity. These diverging, conflicting tendencies are ultimately interdependent, forming two faces of the one configuration, each face never far from the other. "Old" and "new" maybe the most direct terms for the pair. They represent two very different ways of entering the world, but are oddly dependent on one another.

Inhuman Relations, Vol. 7 of the Uniform Edition of the Writings of James Hillman, contains what could be described as Hillman's more "clinical" writings. Hillman chose the title, Inhuman Relations, to emphasize the archetypal forces that shape our human interactions-the myths behind our messes, as he says in this volume.With this volume, Hillman decided to return to his groundbreaking book on soul-making, Re-Visioning Psychology, and organize most of essays under that book's original operative headings: Personifying or Imagining Things, Pathologizing or Falling Apart, Dehumanizing or Soul-Making, and Psychologizing or Seeing Through. The 24 essays in this volume illustrate these operations and allow the reader not only to appreciate their wide-ranging content, but also to become aware of their experiential influence.

The 24 essays in this volume illustrate these operations and allow the reader not only to appreciate their wide-ranging content, but also to become aware of their experiential influence. As Scott Becker writes in his introductory essay: "We can say that Hillman was not only trying to make a point, he was trying to be useful. Because of Hillman's frequently martial style and his plutonic deconstruction of his subject matter, some critics have understandably tended to overlook the fact that he was, by training and temperament, a psychotherapist, and that his therapeutic intent continued long after he left the world of psychoanalysis proper. His passion was in the service of compassion. That he accomplished this by holding up a mirror to our follies does not detract from his therapeutic intent. Quite the contrary, our disillusionment and discomfort were the required first steps to letting go of our destructive ideas, a necessary nigredo phase as we descended, fell apart, went bugs. We had to lose our minds to find them."
