Dear Colleagues:
Does anyone know of a critical work dealing with Carl Jung's *Man
and His Symbols*? I'm interested in critical studies based on empirical
evidence of his conceptions of "collective consciousness" and notions of
universal symbology. I know that Victor Turner was influenced by Jungian
notions in his early work on the Ndembu. However, I have never seen a
good critical review of Jung by an anthropologist (or possibly someone in
the field of religious studies).
I have a number of students who read Joseph Campbell or Jung in
literature and mythology courses and become enthused by some of these
collective consciousness notions. I would like to assign some critical
work that carefully evaluates these Jungian concepts.
I would appreciate any assistance on this matter.
Thank you

And where, though all things differ, all agree
