In this four-part lecture series we revisit and reconsider the work of four seminal figures in the history of Jungian scholarship and research: Erich Neumann, Marie-Louise von Franz, Michael Fordham, and James Hillman. Four visionary scholars and clinicians who “dreamed the dream on” and who each made an invaluable contribution to depth psychology and our understanding of the psyche.

Previously released modules covered Neumann, Von-Franz and Fordham, and are available for purchase with the full series.  Each includes three recorded lectures, reading materials and a recorded seminar.

RELEASING NOW:  For the final installment, we look at the ongoing impact of Jungian Master, James Hillman.  This module includes three lectures, reading material, and a live student seminar on Dec. 3, 2023, and is available for purchase as of November, 2023.  Details below.

JAMES HILLMAN (b. 1926 – d. 2011) was a pioneering psychologist whose imaginative psychology has entered cultural history, affecting lives and minds in a wide range of fields. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Zurich in 1959, where he studied with Carl Jung and held the first directorship at the C. G. Jung Institute for 10 years. In 1970, he became the editor of Spring Journal, a publication dedicated to psychology, philosophy, mythology, arts, humanities, and cultural issues and to the advancement of Arche- typal Psychology. He later co-founded The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture in Dallas, Texas. The influences shaping the core of Hillman’s work were not limited to depth psychology. His ideas had firm grounding in the classical Greek tradition and were also deeply influenced by Renaissance thought and Romanticism, encompassing the contributions of psychologists, philosophers, poets, and alchemists. Hillman described his own line of thought as part of a long lineage that ran from Heraclitus and Plato through to Freud and Carl Jung. Throughout his books and articles, Hillman criticized the literal, materialistic, and reductive perspectives that often dominate the psychological and cultural arenas. He insisted on giving psyche its rightful place in psychology and culture, fundamentally through imagination, metaphor, art, and myth.

James Hillman – Seeing Through the Eyes of Imagination

Presented by Thomas Moore

James Hillman was my good friend and inspiration. Everything he looked at in countless lectures and videos he turned inside out to reveal secrets within. If you were to study him closely you would be living in a world far different from the one most people know and love. He used the images and tales of the Greek gods in an intimate way to acknowledge the mysteries and powers of life to shape us and our world. As he says at the end of Re-Visioning Psychology, “Psychology as religion implies imagining all psychological events as effects of Gods in the soul, and all activities to do with soul, such as therapy, to be operations of ritual in relation to these Gods.” I would like to explore this difficult but rich idea as the seed from which Hillman’s Archetypal Psychology unfolds. We could also see how, in Hillman’s vision, we always see through and by means of images, and that is the meaning of “archetypal.”

Presented by Stanton Marlan
