Jacob & Esau

"Jacob & Esau: On the Collective Symbolism of the Brother Motif" is an important work exploring the biblical subject of Jacob and Esau through the lens of analytical psychology. Erich Neumann elaborates on the central role of the principle of opposites in the human soul, contrasting Jacob's introversion with Esau's extraversion and how the old ethic perpetuates evil. With eloquent translation by Mark Kyburz and editing by Erel Shalit, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in Jungian psychology, religious studies, and Jewish culture."
