"The Origin of Consciousness" takes world mythology as its theme and reveals how individual consciousness as a whole goes through the same archetypal stages of development as human consciousness.
In this book, Neumann expanded and refined Jung's theory of archetypes, using world mythology as a basis to outline the developmental stages of human consciousness.
Reading this book, it feels like history is turning page by page before your eyes. Anima, animus, ego, self-nature, prototypes, complexes, etc. Are vividly connected. The myths created by predecessors through consciousness vividly tell the origin and development of human consciousness.
The author Erich Neumann is a direct disciple of Jung and a famous practitioner of analytical psychology.
In this far-reaching book, Neumann takes the evolving self-awareness as the protagonist and features Jungian language, vividly presenting the origin and development of human consciousness.
