Descripción del artículo del vendedor

This insightful paperback edition of *Ariadne's Clue: A Guide to the Symbols of Humankind* by distinguished analyst and psychiatrist Anthony Stevens is presented in Good condition. Symbolism, the most powerful and ancient means of communication, forms the core of this comprehensive study, exploring how humankind has expressed its preoccupations through myths, stories, religions, and dreams across centuries. Stevens takes the ideas of C. G. Jung a stage further, asserting an innate symbol-forming propensity that is a creative and integral part of our psychic make-up. He argues that this capacity evolved as a result of selection pressures, serving an adaptive function by promoting our grasp on reality and often correcting deficient modes of psychological functioning through dreams. The book is intelligently structured into two parts: an interpretive section dedicated to symbols in general, and a substantial 'dictionary' that meticulously lists hundreds of symbols. This dictionary delves into their origins, resemblances to other symbols, and the belief systems underpinning them, categorized under "The Physical Environment," "Culture and Psyche," "People, Animals, and Plants," and "The Body." Many of these symbols are brought to life by a rich variety of integrated woodcut illustrations throughout the text. From the ancient serpent to the archetypal masculine and feminine, from the earth to the stars, and from primordial savannahs to the mysterious depths of the sea, Stevens expertly traces a host of common symbols back through time. He reveals their psychodynamic functioning and their profound, deep-rooted effects on the lives of modern men, women, and children. A vital resource for anyone interested in psychology, mythology, anthropology, and the enduring power of symbols.…
