Jung and the New Age

<p>Just as formal religion appears to dwindle to a minority interest 'New Age' spirituality gathers increasing momentum and and baffles us with its popular appeal. What is more it has appropriated Jung as one of its spiritual leaders.<br>In his own trenchant style David Tacey offers a theoretical and philosophical account of the New Age phenomenon and the archetypal imperatives that have brought it about. He also investigates the popular claim that Jung is a prophet or mystic and argues that critics have been only too willing to concur with what the New Age has made of him conspiring to turn Jung into a figure of ridicule. <em>Jung and the New Age</em> redresses the balance while offering a wide-ranging discussion about the state of consciousness in the New Age culture and the future of spirituality versus formal religion.</p>
