We always win any Devil’s bargain when Dr. Paul Bishop graces the Virtual Alexandria. He’ll discuss his new book, Jung and the Epic of Transformation Vol. 2: Goethe’s “Faust” as a Text of Transformation . We’ll explore a crucial text in the bridge of the spirit, widely considered the most critical work of German literature, spanning the cosmic journey from a prologue in heaven to hell. Paul’s analysis delves into the protagonist’s profound dilemma of the split personality and his existential self-alienation, which drives him to embrace ceaseless activity and a perilous descent into the depths of the unconscious, seeking fulfillment in the Unattainable. We’ll examine how themes like redemption, eternal growth, and the concept that all transient reality is merely a likeness reveal the enduring mystery and importance of this work as an epic of transformation.
