Routledge Consciousness in Jung and Patanjali - Psychology Research

Explore the intersection of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy through this comprehensive academic study published by Routledge. Consciousness in Jung and Patanjali examines contrasting theoretical frameworks for understanding consciousness, bridging the gap between Jung's analytical psychology and Patanjali's classical yoga philosophy. The book addresses fundamental questions about how consciousness relates to its contents, comparing the nondual Eastern perspective with Western empirical science's materialist explanations. This research volume is essential reading for psychology scholars, philosophy students, and anyone seeking to understand how different traditions conceptualise consciousness and liberation. Part of the Research in Analytical Psychology and Jungian Studies series, it provides rigorous scholarly analysis of these complementary yet distinct approaches to human awareness and psychological transformation.
