ms 711 - The God Complex

Institution:

Pacifica Graduate Institute

Subject:

Description:

Nietzche's announcement of the "death of God" still ripples through the Western psyche. In its wake lies both a decline of religiosity and the emergence of new God images. Alongside these trends we may place Jung's notion that lost divinities return as symptom. Against the backdrop of individual and cultural dependence on a fundamental mythos, this course examines our "God-complex" from a depth psychological and mythological perspective.
