Last Fall I taught a gradua...I LOVE this quotation. Last Fall I taught a graduate level philosophy course entitled "Philosophy and Analytical Psychology". I "inflicted" on my students, at perhaps the most conservative Catholic university in the country, the entirety of "The Essential Jung," of Roger Brooke's "Jung and Phenomenology," ending with "Re-visioning Psychology". We talked quite a bit about just this passage. It is so difficult, when "religion" has come to be so closely identified with the dogmatic and propositional, as it has in our fundamentalist era, to express the point that religion is about imagining that which is beyond! Still, my impression was that my students did get what Hillman was doing and saw something of its liberatory potential... It just so happens that I know a good bit about the Catholic mystical tradition and my students could see the connection between what Hillman was expressing and what the Catholic mystics were doing.John Whitenoreply@blogger.com
