Es un libro inquietante May 10, 2006

Dentro de este libro se plantea la coneccion entra la teoria sicologica de Jung y la teoria de Caos. Como aquellos conceptos de simbolos, arquetipos, complejos de la teoria de Jung pueden ser traduccidos de manera sencilla a los conceptos de la teoria del caos como variedades, bifurcaciones, oscilaciones, fractales, etc.
En este libro se plantea la tesis que el caos es algo natural en nuestra siquis que una siquis sana es caotica !!!. Pero el caos de la siquis sana esta basado en un caos deterministico, el cual a su vez va generar un orden superior al que habia antes que existiese el caos, son los trances o las pruebas que tiene que para el individuo en su proceso de evolucion (el proceso individualizacion).
Este libro tambien hace un analisis literario en terminos de la teoria de caos de un cuento "La mujer de piedra" y un mito "Eros y Phique"
A fine example of a psychology-physics bridge July 24, 2004

Bridging inquiry and speculation into the inner details of the psyche is seductive work. As with any seduction, it can lead to wonderful acts of creation and enjoyment, but also to messy thinking - fallacies of misplaced concreteness (Whitehead), in which the poetic pleasure of expressing parallels between psyche and cosmos can obscure both careful thinking and genuine insight into difficult realities. I find this to be a special danger in the world of Jungian concepts, primarily because the old wizard himself set the stage for exploring links between the science of mind and the mysteries that are not yet in the reach of a given science.
The math and physics of quantum and complexity theories, and of dynamic systems, are both extraordinarily demanding and extraordinarily revealing in their relevance to anything in the world that partakes of interaction, and owes and contributes its nature to other complex interactions. That is to say, anything in the world, seen out of isolation, without any excess of empirical or conceptual filtration. I've read Eenwyk's book twice now, and found it illuminating in both its intelligent and accessible handling of the physics and math involved, and of the fragile but necessary connections of the infinite dynamic of the mind and the world. Highly recommended.
