Eranos Conference: Searching for Soul in the 21st Century

Eranos Conference 
On-Line in 3 weeks
Jung’s Red Book for our Time:
Searching for Soul in the 21st Century

Registration is now open for the Eranos Conference 2022 – “Jung’s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul Under Postmodern Conditions” – scheduled for April 27-May 1, 2022, in Eranos and Monte Verità, Ascona (Switzerland).

Jung’s Red Book has the potential to offer guidance for people living under the disruptive conditions of the first half of the 21st century. This potential will be explored by the speakers and participants in this Symposium.

Can we find value, individually and collectively, in Jung’s Red Book for a time like ours, which is so deeply overcast by the Umbra Mundi (“World Shadow”)? Both the Coronavirus pandemic and the international political crisis and war threat that we are facing right now inevitably shadow all our thoughts as we prepare this Eranos Symposium on “Jung’s Red Book for Our Time.” 

On an even larger scale, we recognize that we are facing a world historical transition in human culture
without the guidance traditionally offered by grand narratives or collective myths. A similar mood of deep anxiety about the future overshadowed the world when C. G. Jung began working on his Red Book in 1913. In response to his “Spirit of the Times,” Jung embarked on an inner journey with “the Spirit of the Depths” and created his Liber Novus, a work that reflects his discovery of a personal myth. His approach to the problems presented by the spirit of his times also has prescriptive significance for our times. The Red Book has the potential to offer guidance for people living under the disruptive conditions of the first half of the 21st century. This potential will be explored by the speakers and participants in this Symposium.

Jung’s Red Book 
for Our Time Series

Edited by Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt, the essays in this four volume series Jung’s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions are geared to the recognition that the posthumous publication of The Red Book: Liber Novus by C.G. Jung in 2009 was a meaningful gift to our contemporary world.
