Dr. Paul Bishop on Jung, Faustus & Making Deals with the Devil

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.
