He shows how the feminine has been represented as goddess, monster, gate, pillar, tree, moon, sun, vessel, and every animal from snakes to birds. Neumann discerns a universal experience of the maternal as both nurturing and fearsome, an experience rooted in the dialectical relation of growing consciousness, symbolized by the child, to the unconscious and the unknown, symbolized by the Great Mother. With a foreword by Martin Liebscher, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Mother\u003c\/i\u003e is a profound and enduring work by one of the most brilliant thinkers of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erich Neumann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691279047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691279046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.50d","brand":"Erich Neumann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086768222463,"sku":"9780691279046","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2bc383c-0e58-4b61-9673-a03a42dd0daa.jpg?v=1769096462","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-mother-erich-neumann-9780691279046","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
