American post-Jungian psychologist who founded archetypal psychology — arguing for a 'polytheistic' psychology that honors the multiplicity of psychic reality, that symptoms are the soul's way of speaking, and that psychology must move from the ego to the soul ('anima mundi') — and whose Re-Visioning Psychology was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.
Plato's dialogue narrating Socrates's final hours in prison — the conversation about the immortality of the soul on the day of his execution — presenting four arguments for the soul's immortality (cyclical argument, recollection, affinity, final cause) and ending with Socrates calmly drinking the hemlock.
Plato's dialogue set by a river outside Athens — featuring Socrates's three speeches on love (the last, the palinode, recanting the first's dismissal of eros) — and the discussion of rhetoric (only philosophy-based rhetoric is genuine rhetoric), the myth of the charioteer, and the critique of writing.
German Jungian psychologist who developed a radical critique of mainstream analytical psychology — arguing that Jungian psychology must move beyond its therapeutic/personal orientation toward a psychology of the soul as objective, dialectical process — whose work represents the most philosophically sophisticated development of analytical psychology.
