This statement of faith, philosophy and principles is a piece of self-analysis and provides the model for the application of Jungian psychoanalysis to an individual's life. The book contains Jung's systematic thinking about the existence of God.

Jung describes and elaborates his two concepts of archetypes and the collective unconscious, establishing the theoretical basis and examining both concept's relationships to the process of individualization.

In this text, Jung explains the essence of his teachings for a readership unfamiliar with his ideas. He highlights the importance of individual responsibility and freedom in the context of today's mass society.

In this remarkable book Jung sets himself face-to-face with 'the unvarnished spectacle of divine savagery and ruthlessness.'

Modern Man in Search of a Soul is the perfect introduction to the theories and concepts of one of the most original and influential religious thinkers of the twentieth century.
