Jung’s lectures on the history of psychology—in English for the
first time Between 1933 and 1941, C. G. Jung delivered a series of
public lectures at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in
Zurich. Intended for a general audience, these lectures addressed a
broad range of topics, from dream analysis to yoga and meditation.
Here for the first time in English are Jung’s lectures on the
history of modern psychology from the Enlightenment to his own time,
delivered in the fall and winter of 1933–34. In these inaugural
lectures, Jung emphasizes the development of concepts of the
unconscious and offers a comparative study of movements in French,
German, British, and American thought. He also gives detailed analyses
of Justinus Kerner’s The Seeress of Prevorst and Théodore
Flournoy’s From India to the Planet Mars. These lectures present the
history of psychology from the perspective of one of the field’s
most legendary figures. They provide a unique opportunity to encounter
Jung speaking for specialists and nonspecialists alike and are the
primary source for understanding his late work. Featuring
cross-references to the Jung canon and explanations of concepts and
terminology, History of Modern Psychology painstakingly reconstructs
and translates these lectures from manuscripts, summaries, and
recently recovered shorthand notes of attendees. It is the first
volume of a series that will make the ETH lectures available in their
entirety to English readers.
