City and Soul

Psychology, starting with the restoration of the significance and value of the individual, created a great achievement. However, over time the pendulum swung in the other direction, and now - having learned to study the individual, we have completely forgotten that the individual is simultaneously a separate element and an organic part of the group. The group, social, and political have begun to fade into the background of depth psychology. The city, the tribe, have lost the right to their own animateness and spirituality. We define space, and space defines us. To what extent does the City influence our lives and our way of thinking?
In his groundbreaking study "City and Soul," James Hillman, the founder of Archetypal Psychology, explores the dialectic of the individual and the collective from entirely new positions. Vividly. Unexpectedly. Paradoxically. Throughout the text, Hillman holds the reader's attention, sacrificing more than one sacred cow of modern mentality.
