{"product_id":"the-fear-of-the-feminine","title":"The Fear of the Feminine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese essays by the famous analytical psychologist and student of creativity Erich Neumann belong in the context of the depth psychology of culture and reveal a prescient concern about the one-sidedness of patriarchal Western civilization. Neumann recommended a \"cultural therapy\" that he thought would redress a \"fundamental ignorance\" about feminine and masculine psychology, and he looked for societal healing to a \"matriarchal consciousness\" that forms the bridge between the feminine and the creative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eBrought together here for the first time, the essays in the book discuss the psychological stages of woman's development, the moon and matriarchal consciousness, Mozart's \u003ci\u003eMagic Flute,\u003c\/i\u003e the meaning of the earth archetype for modern times, and the fear of the feminine. In Mozart's fantastic world, Neumann saw a true \u003ci\u003eAuseinandersetzung\u003c\/i\u003e--the conflict and coming-to-terms with each other of the matriarchal and the patriarchal worlds. Developing such a synthesis of the feminine and the masculine in the psychic reality of the individual and of the collective was, he argued, one of the fundamental, future-oriented tasks of both the society and the individual.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52649294463343,"sku":"9780691034737","price":277.39,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0691034737.jpg?v=1770647769","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/the-fear-of-the-feminine","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
