Kingsley’s Howl and the Open Secret of Jung’s Life

Abstract In his latest book, Catafalque: Carl Jung and the End of Humanity, Peter Kingsley suggests that not only do most in the Jungian community misunderstand Jung the person, but they also fail to comprehend the true basis of his psychology. He further maintains, despite Jung’s protests to the contrary, that Jung was a prophet. Kingsley’s book confronts us with sharp criticism and exhaustive research to support these claims. The tone, often angry and derogatory, nevertheless makes for compelling reading and serious consideration. Kingsley gives fresh insight into Jung’s maverick persona, which, at times, presented him as an empirical scientist and, at other times, a mystic. For those familiar with Kingsley, this provocative book echoes a persistent theme throughout his work: we ignore the past to our peril. This handsome two-volume hardback set delivers a power punch, intended to wake us up. Whether we agree or not, it reveals an open secret of Jung, the man and his message, that is either spoken about in idealistic terms or not mentioned at all. This review explicates what Kingsley means by calling Jung a prophet, why prophets howl, and whether focusing on any one of Jung’s personae is helpful. Given the dire spiritual condition of our world today, Catafalque is a timely reminder of Jung’s prophetic vision, even offering, perhaps, a way to save humanity.

金斯利的嚎叫和荣格生活的公开秘密

摘要 在他的最新着作 Catafalque: Carl Jung and the End of Humanity 中,Peter Kingsley 建议荣格社区中的大多数人不仅误解了荣格这个人,而且他们也未能理解他心理学的真正基础。他进一步坚持,尽管荣格反对,但荣格是一位先知。金斯利的书向我们提出了尖锐的批评和详尽的研究来支持这些主张。语气通常是愤怒和贬义的,但仍然令人信服地阅读和认真考虑。金斯利对荣格特立独行的性格提供了新的见解,这种性格有时将他呈现为一位经验科学家,而在其他时候则是一位神秘主义者。对于熟悉金斯利的人来说,这本引人入胜的书在他的作品中呼应了一个永恒的主题:我们无视过去是我们的危险。这本漂亮的两卷精装书具有强烈的冲击力,旨在唤醒我们。不管我们同意与否,它揭示了荣格的一个公开秘密,这个人和他的信息,要么用理想主义的术语谈论,要么根本没有提到。这篇评论解释了 Kingsley 称荣格为先知的含义,先知为什么会嚎叫,以及关注荣格的任何一个人物是否有帮助。鉴于当今世界可怕的精神状况,Catafalque 及时提醒了荣格的预言,甚至提供了一种拯救人类的方法。以及关注荣格的任何一个人物是否有帮助。鉴于当今世界可怕的精神状况,Catafalque 及时提醒了荣格的预言,甚至提供了一种拯救人类的方法。以及关注荣格的任何一个人物是否有帮助。鉴于当今世界可怕的精神状况,Catafalque 及时提醒了荣格的预言,甚至提供了一种拯救人类的方法。
