Atom and Archetype

The collected correspondence between C.G. Jung and Nobel Prize physicist Wolfgang Pauli — edited by C.A. Meier — documenting their 25-year intellectual dialogue about synchronicity, the relationship between physics and psychology, and the unus mundus (one world).

Documents the most productive dialogue between physics and psychology in the 20th century — Jung and Pauli's exchange developed the concept of synchronicity (Jung's contribution) alongside Pauli's interest in the role of the observer in quantum mechanics — suggesting that matter and psyche are two aspects of one underlying reality.
