Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Analytic Psychology, Vol. 1 of 2
When I first planned the present work, it was my intention to follow the genetic order Of treatment. But I found my self baffled in the attempt to do this without a preparatory analysis of the developed consciousness. Our knowledge Of mental processes, as we can observe and infer them in our own ordinary experience, is essential as a clue to the nature Of mental process at lower levels. I therefore found myself driven to pave the way for genetic treatment by a previous analytic investigation; and the result was the present work. It must therefore be regarded, even in respect to my own plan of procedure, as a fragment of a larger whole. This will explain certain omissions which might otherwise appear strange. I have passed by whatever appeared capable Of more efficient treatment from a genetic point of view. Thus, I have reserved the psychological investigation of Space and Time, the stages in the development Of self-consciousness and of Will, and similar questions. I may say that my strongest psychological interest lies in certain genetic ques tions, and especially in those on which ethnographic evidence can be brought to bear.
