The appeal of nonrational logic is based upon C.G. Jung's ideas regarding archetypes, considered to be unconscious thought and behavioural patterns universal to all of humanity and expressed in dreams, art, religion, and reports of supernatural and paranormal experiences such as the belief in UFOs, conspiracy theories associated with child sacrifice and devil worship, lizard people who secretly rule the world, and internet demons whom many insist are real. C.G. Jung insisted that archetypal reality must be acknowledged for what it is: expressions of universal truths about the human condition. Nonrational Logic includes a multitude of examples from world folklore and reports of traditional customs from around the world collected in the multivolume anthropological classic, The Golden Bough, by James Frazer, comparing these traditional reports with contemporary ones to underscore the human psyche's obsessive desire to embrace the fantastic, the extraordinary, and the unbelievable. Nonrational Logic in Contemporary Society is important reading for analytical psychologists, Jungian psychotherapists, and other professionals seeking to understand how prevalent nonrational thinking is in modern societies and how it reflects traditional expressions"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Conspiracy theories. 650 0 Archetype (Psychology) 650 7 Archetype (Psychology) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00813067 650 7 Conspiracy theories. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01748943 776 08 |iOnline version:Kline, Jim, 1950- |tNonrational logic in contemporary society |dAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2023 |z9781003271482 |w(DLC) 2022048938 902 010005061 |wcopy |120240315192642.0 910 |cD1101ebk |d3110-10 |gYBP 914 (OCoLC)on1347363353 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240320 |eprocessed |f1347363353 960 |o1 |zUSD 961 |fOS |m311010 |nCloth 980 18164472 |i160.00 982 |celf3 984 20240103 |b083745 |cYBP-US
