Cultural Complexes in Australia
The Australian Resistance to Individuation
There is something missing in the Australian psyche, and this absence or abyss is what interests David Tacey in this chapter. Cultural development and personal individuation necessitate a dialogue or interaction between conscious and unconscious, but David describes this dialogue as problematical in the Australian context because culture here is so thinly rational and cerebral, denying the existence of the unconscious. As a colonial society, its …
Lament of the dead
Hillman passed away in 2011, but two years later his last book appeared, co-authored with Shamdasani. It is Hillman's book, and Shamdasani plays a minor role. It is somewhat eerie to have Hillman s
James Hillman
This two-part essay offers a critical assessment of Hillman's archetypal psychology and enquires into its viability as a psychological model. The first part explores his legacy and reviews the metapsychological frame in which his work operates. It considers the relation between his thought and Jung's, and argues that Hillman's work is not so much post-Jungian as pre-Jungian. The second part is primarily intrapsychic; it explores Hillman's charact…

Jacques Derrida
Toward the end of his life, Derrida complained that he had been 'read less and less well over almost twenty years, like my religion about which nobody understands anything'. Derrida, ever the trickster and shape-shifter, had outwitted his audience and even his ardent following by declaring himself religious. This seemed to oddly contradict the universal image of Derridean deconstruction as nihilistic, relativistic, subjectivistic and anti-religio…
Mind and Earth
In 1927/1931 Jung wrote “Mind and Earth,” where he suggested the earth has an unconscious effect on the mind. Earth seems to mold or influence mind in subtle ways, shaping our behavior and thoughts without us realizing it. Different places impact the mind in different ways, and Jung’s essay was written after his journey to North America, where he felt the land had had a strong effect on its European immigrants, even “indigenizing” them in an unca…

The Spirituality Revolution
Why are we in the midst of a spiritual revolution at this point in history? Where is it heading? We are in the midst of a spiritual revolution. Churches are emptying and religious leaders are finding their status and authority increasingly challenged. Meanwhile the New Age movement continues to grow in popularity. Interest in indigenous tribal religions, in witchcraft, astrology, alchemy and long-forgotten mysterious sects and cults has never bee…
Student Spirituality and Educational Authority
This article explores the situation of student spirituality in the secular educational system, and considers some of the philosophical, emotional and practical challenges it presents to educational authority. Students are increasingly interested in spirituality, and yet the secular system finds it hard to absorb, direct or respond to these interests. In the recent past, it has often dealt with this uprising of spiritual interest by dismissing it …

Jung in the academy
Jung's position in the contemporary mainstream English‐speaking university is problematical indeed. For various historical and ideological reasons, Jung is generally not included in the courses in academic psychology, and in the humanities and social sciences his reception is lukewarm to say the least. He has only a marginal place in religious studies. This notorious academic resistance to Jung is compensated, some would say overcompensated, by s…
