Synopsis "Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle. (From Vol. 8. Of the Collected Works of c. G. Jung): 08 (Jung Extracts) "

Jung was intrigued from early in his career with coincidences, especially those surprising juxtapositions that scientific rationality could not adequately explain. He discussed these ideas with Albert Einstein before World War I, but first used the term "synchronicity" in a 1930 lecture, in reference to the unusual psychological insights generated from consulting the I Ching. A long correspondence and friendship with the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli stimulated a final, mature statement of Jung's thinking on synchronicity, originally published in 1952 and reproduced here. Together with a wealth of historical and contemporary material, this essay describes an astrological experiment Jung conducted to test his theory. Synchronicity reveals the full extent of Jung's research into a wide range of psychic phenomena. This paperback edition of Jung's classic work includes a new foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London.

Fue discípulo de Freud y profesor en las universidades de Zúrich y Basilea.

Carl Gustav Jung fue un pionero de la psicología profunda y uno de los estudiosos de esta disciplina más ampliamente leídos en el siglo veinte. Su abordaje teórico y clínico enfatizó la conexión funcional entre la estructura de la psique y la de sus productos.

Carl Gustav Jung was born in July 1875 in Kesswil, Switzerland, into a very religious family. He was a withdrawn and lonely child, who spent much of his childhood unable to relate to brothers or sisters. Partly because of this, he used to play with elements of nature and used his imagination to weave extravagant narrative lines about everything he experienced.

However, the unusual mental associations and the symbolism that populated young Jung's mind did not limit their reign to the hours he was awake. Jung began very early to have very vivid dreams with a strong symbolic charge. And, as expected from someone who dedicated a large part of his career to studying dreams, at least one of these dreams marked him for life.
