Excerpted from the dust jacket: From 1933-1941, C. G. Jung delivered public lectures intended for a general audience at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. This volume includes Jung's complete lectures on Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises, delivered in the winter of 1939-1940. These illuminating lectures are the culmination of Jung's investigation into traditional forms of meditation and their parallels to his psychotherapeutic method of active imagination.Jung presents Loyola's exercises as the prime example of a Christian practice comparable to yoga and Eastern meditation, and gives a psychological interpretation of the visions depicted in the saint's autobiographical writings.
