The Capitalism of the Ego: James Hillman's Critique of the Ego Function in Psychoanalysis
🕑 Added 2023-04-25 14:00:00 +0000 UTC**A special for patrons only! Coming to Zer0/Repeater on Thursday of this week.**
For post-Jungian archetypal psychologist James Hillman, the concept of the ego familiar to the work of Freud, Jung, and other psychoanalytic thinkers maintains a almost tyrannical predominance in the tradition of psychoanalysis. The myth of Hercules looms large over the discipline and our lives writ large. For Hillman undue importance of the ego has precipitated a multitude of psychological, social, and political problems. The solution? A break with the ego's oppositionalism and a deep dive into the world of the imagination.
