Nietzsche's work "Thus Spake Zarathustra" is filled with a strange sense of religiosity that seems to run counter to the philosopher's usual polemics against religious faith. For C G Jung, "Zarathustra" was a demonstration of the unconscious at work. This book allows you to participate with Jung as he probes the underlying meaning of great work.

Contributes an essay on the "Divine Child" and one on the "Kore" (the Maiden), together with an introduction and conclusion. This work also contains a psychological commentary on each essay. It aims to elevate the study of mythology to the status of a science.

Provides an accessible general introduction to the Jungian concept of ego development and Jung's theory of personality structure - the collective unconscious, anima, animus, shadow, archetypes.
