{"product_id":"alchemical-mercurius","title":"Alchemical Mercurius","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe figure of the alchemical Mercurius features ubiquitously and radically in Jung’s later works, but despite this, there has been little research concerning Mercurius in Jungian studies to date. In this book, Mathew Mather explores the figure of the alchemical Mercurius and contextualises and clarifies its significance in Jung’s life and works. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlacing the alchemical Mercurius as a central concern reveals a Jungian interpretation in which the grail legend, alchemy and precessional astrology, as three thematic threads, converge. In such a treatment, Jung’s belief in the dawning of a new platonic month emerges as a central consideration and an esoteric perspective on Jung’s life and works is brought more fully to light, constructing a life-myth interpretation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is comprised of three parts:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAurea Catena: locating the figure of the alchemical Mercurius within the Western esoteric tradition \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaimonic Encounter: the relevance of this figure in Jung’s personal life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnum Opus: Jung’s portrayal of this figure in key texts such as \u003ci\u003eSynchronicity\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAion\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMysterium Coniunctionis;\u003c\/i\u003e and Emma Jung and von Franz’s \u003ci\u003eThe Grail Legend\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Alchemical Mercurius is a unique contribution to analytical psychology, substantially revealing ‘esoteric Jung’ and providing valuable perspectives on the theme of his myth for our times.
