Review # 1 was written on 2019-11-25 00:00:00 Carlos Fuentes Truly a work of your typical modern day nihilistic and soulless intellectual. Author Richard Noll goes for all the typically low blows of modern day academia labeling Jung an anti-Semite, closet-Nazi, racist, blah blah blah.... If you want to read a serious discrediting of a psychoanalytic pseudo-Scientist, read evolutionary psychologist Kevin MacDonald's "Culture of Critique," which details Freud's hidden goal with psychoanalysis of subverting Germanic tradition (especially in regard to gender). It should not be a surprise as to why Jung broke with his former "master" Freud... Maybe Richard Noll would have had an easier time detailing Freud's anti-Teuton agenda. Of course, that would be "anti-semitic." Maybe Noll should stick to writing on shamanism and cultural anthropology. After all, even if Franz Boas was an anti-German liberal fraud that has been proven to have falsified his "Scientific" evidence during his "research," that does not matter since Boas was an anti-racist and he invented the myth that race is a social construct. A biological and ancestral "social construct" that Carl Jung devoted his life to.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-24 00:00:00 James Lawson It's remarkable that this very measured, very careful attempt to restore Jung to his proper place in the history of early twentieth-century mysticism has aroused so much hostility. Far from being particularly provocative, the book is, if anything, rather undramatic. However, Noll does a good job of explaining Ariosophy and Jung's connection with it, and the information about his and his disciples' anti-scientific, cultish behaviour is useful and revealing. A refreshing change from the all-too-often uncritical acceptance of the ideas of Jung and his followers (such as Joseph Campbell) which one encounters these days.
