Note on the Text (#ulink_bd033022-dd7b-5c85-8fad-e820df5c28b1)
Bibliographical details of the works from which I have taken extracts – Collected Works (CW), Memories, Dreams, Reflections (MDR), Septem Sermones ad Mortuos, The Freud/Jung Letters and Letters – are given on pages 434–5. English and American page or paragraph numbering diverges only in the case of MDR; when quoting from this book I have given the English hardback edition’s pages followed by those of the American edition.
I have been selective about my inclusion of footnotes, keeping those of Jung’s which illuminate the text or which refer to sources of interest to the non-specialist reader, but omitting his and his editors’ references to works which, particularly in the case of the alchemical volumes, are unobtainable by all but the most dedicated scholars. Where editors’ notes have been retained, they are within square brackets. I have used the bibliographies contained in CW to fill out Jung’s footnotes where appropriate.
Preface (#ulink_56ca72f9-ffc2-5eb8-9930-2607b2bd4bc1)
Throughout his long life, C. G. Jung was a prolific writer, so that his Collected Works run to no less than eighteen large volumes. In addition, there are two volumes of his letters, a separate volume of his correspondence with Freud, and his autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections. Comparatively few people are prepared to read the whole corpus of this material; but many might welcome the opportunity to become acquainted with Jung’s thought as he himself expounded it. This book is an attempt to distil the essential features of Jung’s psychology as it developed during the course of his life by means of extracts from his own writings. Since Jung’s way of thinking may be unfamiliar to contemporary readers, I have summarized the main features of his thought in an introduction; and I have prefaced the extracts which I have chosen with brief explanatory remarks. But, so far as is possible, I have let Jung present his ideas in his own words. My purpose has been exposition, not criticism; and it must not be assumed that I personally subscribe to everything that Jung wrote.
