About this episode
Is magic just a less sophisticated form of psychology? That is probably the cornerstone claim of what I am calling 'Modernity's Magic'.
And in the next instalment of our series 'Hospicing Modernity's Magic', I want to look at:
- How psychology diverged from magic and why.
- Jung's role during his lifetime.
- What the magicians of modernity did with the 'legitimacy umbrella' they received from Jungian thought.
- Which parts of this journey do we take with us into the magic of today?
