Episode description

Is magic just a less sophisticated form of psychology? That is probably the cornerstone claim of what I am calling 'Modernity's Magic'.

And in the next instalment of our series 'Hospicing Modernity's Magic', I want to look at:

  • How psychology diverged from magic and why.
  • Jung's role during his lifetime.
  • What the magicians of modernity did with the 'legitimacy umbrella' they received from Jungian thought.
  • Which parts of this journey do we take with us into the magic of today?
