On the Blissful Islands with Nietzsche & Jung - Paul (Chair of Modern Languages University of Glasgow Bishop - Bog

This book takes as its starting-point the chapter called `On the Blissful Islands¿ in Part Two of Nietzsche¿s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and its enigmatic conclusion: `The beauty of the Superman came to me as a shadow¿. From this remarkable and powerful passage, it disengages the Nietzschean idea of the Superman and the Jungian notion of the shadow, moving these concepts into a new, interdisciplinary direction.
