This highly controversial biography presents a hard but human look at Carl G. Jung. Abandoning idolatry, the author presents a complex portrait of the man who saw himself as the herald of the dawning Aquarian Age, a lonely, flawed prophet haunted by the demon of incipient madness, but wily and bold enough to consent to its creative use. A critical biography of the great Swiss psychologist, examining his visionary and demagogic powers, the development and torments of his personality, and his thought, and viewing him as an exemplary figure, if not a prophetic, of his age.
