| dc.description.abstract | In this thesis I address a dearth in psychological research that takes spirituality seriously, as the natural counterpart to materialistic approaches to the psyche. To do so I look at the role that non-human beings and the dead play in the psychological thought of C.G. Jung and Rudolf Steiner, and how these challenge the oppositional thinking present in modern psychology, particularly in conceptions of consciousness, being, life, and death. I use a close reading of Jung’s Liber Novus: The Red Book and several of Steiner’s works, along with an antithetical methodology that seeks questions rather than answers. What emerges from the work of Jung and Steiner is a reimagining of psychology as spiritual psychology, a way of life that involves questioning the oppositional thinking of ordinary waking consciousness and developing a complementary form of imaginative non-ordinary consciousness. | en_US |
