Neumann recommended a \"cultural therapy\" that he thought would redress a \"fundamental ignorance\" about feminine and masculine psychology, and he looked for societal healing to a \"matriarchal consciousness\" that forms the bridge between the feminine and the creative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrought together here for the first time, the essays in \u003cem\u003eThe Fear of the Feminine\u003c\/em\u003e discuss the psychological stages of woman's development, the moon and matriarchal consciousness, Mozart's \u003cem\u003eMagic Flute\u003c\/em\u003e, the meaning of the earth archetype for modern times, and the fear of the feminine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Mozart's fantastic world, Neumann saw a true Auseinandersetzung—the conflict and coming-to-terms with each other of the matriarchal and the patriarchal worlds. Developing such a synthesis of the feminine and the masculine in the psychic reality of the individual and of the collective was, he argued, one of the fundamental, future-oriented tasks of both the society and the individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607952015596,"sku":"9780691034737","price":92.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691034737-the-fear-of-the-feminine.jpg?v=1778180920","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-fear-of-the-feminine-by-erich-neumann-9780691034737","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
