An exploration of dualisms in individuation and transrationality

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this book Margrete Slettebø discusses research findings from her three-year MA-research on the relation between the Jungian concept of individuation and transrationality. At the core of her project is the exploration of dualisms through a re-reading of C. G. Jung's theory of individuation in light of peace researcher, Wolfgang Dietrich's concept of transrationality. Slettebø describes the entry point into this research the personal motivation to heal complexes or splits in her own psyche in order to expand her sense of beingness. Individuation is connected, if we follow Jung, to the process of an ever-growing consciousness of the connection to our unconscious. To Jung the main conflict of the psyche is between the conscious and the unconscious. Jung relates our tendency to see the world as antagonistic dualisms to this main conflict. Slettebø explores the understanding of the individuation process as a four-directional model of two crossing polarities, experienced in the four directions of the body- above and below, right and left. This quaternity represents the duality of this-worldly/other-worldly and masculine-feminine.
