Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-29 00:00:00 Jorge Matos I find this book interesting for two reasons, its metaphorical contents, and its look into the mind of Hillman. Hillman was opposed to what he called Jung's bias for unity and wholeness. Hillman's bias was toward the many. He was opposed to putting a bright light of consciousness on the many. Hillman described this bright light as the Solor Hero that tends toward wholeness and unity with a victory over the many. Hillman preferred to stay in the realm of many, and not move to wholeness and unity. I think this tendency of Hillman can help in understanding him as a person. He was famous for his harsh emotional outbursts toward people. Hillman could seemingly fragment easily, fall to pieces, over what questions were put to him. Given his bias was toward non integration, he himself may not have moved toward unity. However, he was a great scholar and wordsmith. This was his streangth. Wholeness may have passed him by. This book is well worth the effort to read. Much is in it that takes time to digest. Those who take the time will be rewarded. |
Review # 2 was written on 2015-09-24 00:00:00 Stephen Kanzee I haven't read a book I've enjoyed this much in a long time. No one can make the mundane mystical like Hillman can (except maybe Bachelard). |
