The Apocalypse of the Reluctant Gnostics
Carl G. Jung and Philip K. DickThis book presents a comparison of the Gnostic worldviews of Carl G. Jung and science-fiction author, Philip K. Dick, two figures who have done far more than most to revive an interest in the Gnostic tradition in the modern world. Despite profoundly different approaches – one was a depth psychologist whose unique insights and approach to psychology forced him to explore the depths of the unconscious in a way that inevitably led him to touch frequently on metaphysical or spiritual matters; the other was an author of science-fiction – there are some striking parallels between their unique Gnostic visions. With the relatively recent publication of both Jung’s and Dick’s personal journals – The Red Book (2009), and, The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick (2011), respectively – in which they articulate their Gnostic visions, it seems timely to make this comparison. ISBN: 9781782206071, 1782206078
