Its portrayal of the mythological figure of Hermes as a personification of metaphor marks an original contribution to the field of metaphor studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter a 2,500-year exile from philosophy and related areas of study, beginning with Plato's ejection of the poets from the ideal city-state, metaphor is today experiencing a season of renewal. Among the fields where its significance as a way of seeing, thinking, and feeling has been especially prominent is archetypal psychology, perhaps the most philosophically attuned of psychological disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApproaching the work of James Hillman and other key archetypal psychologists from a poststructuralist perspective, \u003ci\u003eMetaphor and Imaginal Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e draws insightful comparisons between archetypal psychology and the deconstructive philosophy of Jacques Derrida, a principle theorist of metaphor's philosophical resurgence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy linking two disciplines that might at first appear as strange bedfellows, \u003ci\u003eMetaphor and Imaginal Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e underscores the influence of metaphor in reason and emotion, and makes a compelling case for the Mercurial ethos of our postmodern world. Aside from representing essential reading for therapists and theorists working in post-Jungian studies, the book will appeal to readers, students and scholars of literary criticism, psychology, philosophy and mythology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Slavin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138649880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138649880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Marc Slavin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138471522559,"sku":"9781138649880","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b40106b-34f8-4c2f-90e5-e6b72378aea5.jpg?v=1687899840","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/metaphor-and-imaginal-psychology-marc-slavin-9781138649880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
