Civilization in Transition: Jung’s Challenge to Culture in Crisis
Jung urged a recognition of the power of the psyche to shape personal and social realities. His thought challenges us to reflect upon the perilous splits and precarious balances in our society and ourselves. The Civilization in Transition conference addresses issues such as the redefinition of gender identity and the nature of global dominance; the fate of feeling and empathy in an era of mass communication; the effect of economic development on the soul of the community; art as revelation and therapy; and the emergence of contemporary myth and symbol as healing potentials in culture.
