{"product_id":"reading-plato-through-jung-paul-bishop-9783031168116","title":"Reading Plato Through Jung: Why Must the Third Become the Fourth?","description":"This book examines the Jungian imperative that the Third must become the Fourth through the lens of Carl Jung's complex reception of Plato. While in psychoanalytic discourse the Third is typically viewed as an agent that brings about healing, the author highlights that, in the case of Jung, an early emphasis on the Third as the \"transcendent function\" gave way to an increasing insistence on the importance of the Fourth. And yet, he asks, why \u003ci\u003emust \u003c\/i\u003e\"the Third become the Fourth\"? \u003cbr\u003ePaul Bishop begins with a survey of work on Jung's relation to Plato, before turning to Jung's readings of the \u003ci\u003eTimaeus\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlack Books\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as Goethe's \u003ci\u003eFaust II\u003c\/i\u003e and Nietzsche's \u003ci\u003eZarathustra\u003c\/i\u003e. He proceeds to unpick Jung's statements on the Third and the Fourth though a compelling analysis of how Jung draws upon religious and alchemical traditions, Pythagorean numerology, his own dream-like experiences and Plato's cosmology. This book will appeal to practitioners and to scholars working in the history of ideas, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and psychoanalytic theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Bishop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031168119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031168116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Paul Bishop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44131529261311,"sku":"9783031168116","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba0b1c7b-6dac-446c-8eb5-2b9accda8aff.jpg?v=1687474950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-plato-through-jung-paul-bishop-9783031168116","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
