The essays in this volume are geared to the recognition that the
posthumous publication of The Red Book: Liber Novus by C. G. Jung in
2009 was a meaningful gift to our contemporary world. Similar to the
volatile times Jung found himself in when he created this work a century
ago, we today too are confronted with highly turbulent and uncertain
conditions of world affairs that threaten any sense of coherent meaning,
personally and collectively. The Red Book promises to become an
epochal opus for the 21st century in that it offers us guidance for
finding soul under postmodern conditions.
This is the first volume of a three-volume series set up on a global and
multicultural level and compiling essays from distinguished Jungian
analysts and scholars.
