The Gnostic Jung | C. G. Jung & Gnostic Symbolism

The Gnostic Jung | Selections from C. G. Jung & His Critics The Gnostic Jung explores the profound relationship between ancient Gnosticism and the depth psychology of Carl Gustav Jung. For Jung, Gnostic myths and symbols were not relics of the past but living confirmations of his psychological insights. This volume, edited by Robert Segal, brings together Jung’s key writings on Gnosticism alongside critical commentary from major scholars. Included in this collection are Jung’s seminal work “Gnostic Symbols of the Self” and his visionary myth “Seven Sermons to the Dead”—a text Jung himself published anonymously as a revelation from his inner guide, Philemon. These writings are paired with essays by theologian Victor White and historian Gilles Quispel, offering multiple perspectives on Jung’s interpretation of Gnosis.
