Summary

British scholar at the University of Essex who has written extensively on Jung's relationship to religion, synchronicity, and the history of Jungian thought — The Rupture of Time, Revelations of Divine Love, and editing Jung on Synchronicity — one of the leading academic scholars of Jungian psychology.

Core Contribution

Provides rigorous academic analysis of Jung's relationship to religion and synchronicity — demonstrating that Jung's engagement with religious phenomena was not a regression from science but a serious philosophical challenge to the dominant materialist framework — and connecting Jungian synchronicity to broader philosophical and religious questions.
