Bøker av Frederick Burniston

At first sight my book looks like a collection of essays. But there is a drama going on beneath the surface. The author is the narrator and the towering figure of C.G. Jung takes centre stage. Throughout the play Jung engages in dialogues and disputes with a number of philosophers, theologians and mystics. In the final act (the last three chapters) Jung encounters the great medieval Sufi master Ibn 'Arabi. There are deep affinities between Jung and the Shaykh and these chapters are the merest beginning.

Within these pages Frederick Burniston has crafted a unique discussion of the psychologically and philosophically relevant journeys of C.G. Jung contained in fourteen chapters and three appendices. With his big picture ability to juggle disparate ideas, Burniston engages in connecting, comparing and contrasting Jung's ideas with a variety of other philosophers and thinkers' theories. (US Review of Books) The book is a culmination of a life of truth seeking and scholarship... and it feels palpably like a labor of love. (Blue Ink) This book deserves a spot on the shelves of serious psychological, spiritual and religious scholars. (Blue Ink) Those unfamiliar with recondite philosophy and spiritualism will find engaging introductions here. (Pacific Book Review)
