Summary

In 1932, world-renowned physicist Wolfgang Pauli had already done the work that would win him the 1945 Nobel Prize。 He was also suffering after a series of troubling personal events。 He was drinking heavily, quarrelling frequently, and experiencing powerful, disturbing dreams。 Pauli turned to C。 G。 Jung for help, forging an extraordinary intellectual conjunction not just between a physicist and a psychologist but between physics and psychology。 As their acquaintance developed, Jung and Pauli discussed the nature of dreams and their relation to reality, finding surprising common ground between depth psychology and quantum physics and profoundly influencing each other's work。

This portrait of an incredible friendship will fascinate readers interested in psychology, science, creativity, and genius。

This book exceeded my expectations and God were they high。。。 Exceptional read

The amount of mental energy behind these letters is astonishing, both Jung and Pauli helping each other function better in the respective fields while also giving each other insights into the psyche and subatomic particles。 Much of it seems like Pauli writing Jung with an endless supply of dream imagery to interpret, in return for a collection of published theories to be fact-checked for scientific accuracy。 Both writers, along with occasional correspondence with Emma Jung and Aniela Jaffé, are The amount of mental energy behind these letters is astonishing, both Jung and Pauli helping each other function better in the respective fields while also giving each other insights into the psyche and subatomic particles。 Much of it seems like Pauli writing Jung with an endless supply of dream imagery to interpret, in return for a collection of published theories to be fact-checked for scientific accuracy。 Both writers, along with occasional correspondence with Emma Jung and Aniela Jaffé, are warm reminders of some of the most trying times in European (and global) history still had people with the cordiality and curiosity to write a letter to find out more information on a wide array of topics from alchemy to the atomic bomb。 。。。more

This book gives you a fascinating ringside seat as a great psychologist and great physicist try to understand each other's worlds and bring them together。 This book gives you a fascinating ringside seat as a great psychologist and great physicist try to understand each other's worlds and bring them together。 。。。more

Another favorite of mine。 Not an easy read, but a very important one。 Carl Jung, the psychiatrist and depth psychologist, and Wolfgang Pauli, one of the handful of physicists who discovered and elaborated quantum physics, engaged in a lively correspondence over several decades。 They discussed the resonance between their respective disciplines, examining how the implications of quantum physics will change the way we see the world and live in it。 Pauli's dreams are also included in the corresponde Another favorite of mine。 Not an easy read, but a very important one。 Carl Jung, the psychiatrist and depth psychologist, and Wolfgang Pauli, one of the handful of physicists who discovered and elaborated quantum physics, engaged in a lively correspondence over several decades。 They discussed the resonance between their respective disciplines, examining how the implications of quantum physics will change the way we see the world and live in it。 Pauli's dreams are also included in the correspondence, and they provide a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of the human soul as it seeks to generate and to cope with the birth of a new eon in our age of transition。 。。。more

This is for the the die hard Jungian more because of it structure of information than anything。 It is enlightening to see how much Pauli had in formulating the idea of Synchronicity and one understands why he is listed as the co-author。 Unlike Freud, whose theories were limited by little variation he had in patients, or Lacan, who based his theories on linguistic ideas that Chomsky and others have since dismissed, we are left with this Jung who did not cringe from the developments in Quantum Phy This is for the the die hard Jungian more because of it structure of information than anything。 It is enlightening to see how much Pauli had in formulating the idea of Synchronicity and one understands why he is listed as the co-author。 Unlike Freud, whose theories were limited by little variation he had in patients, or Lacan, who based his theories on linguistic ideas that Chomsky and others have since dismissed, we are left with this Jung who did not cringe from the developments in Quantum Physics。 It says much of Jung that he could travel in this world as easily as that of some of the oldest Alchemical texts we have。 We discover in Pauli that even men of science can appear to have abilities beyond the easily explainable and in the case, not always controllable。 。。。more
