The Red Book, between a fascination with the abyss and art as a will to live
By Laurent Meyer
English
The publication of C.G. Jung’s Red Book enabled the author to seek the connection between his thoughts about our era’s omnipresent fascination with extreme violence and its trivialization. Perhaps it is possible to find a response to the void in which the death of God has abandoned a part of humanity, on the one hand, and on the other, the work of art when it is revealed and revered as the quest for the true word, creator of life.
