Jung's Library

“The main content of Jung’s private library was contemporary literature of the 19th and 20th century, mainly about medicine, psychiatry, psychology and philosophy. Additionally there are a great number of books on antique cultures, gnosis, christian symbols, eastern religion, ethnology and occultism. The library also contains a collection of about 300 rare books (printed before 1800) on alchemy, theurgy and kabbala, as well as antique literature on dreams, writings of church fathers and of the latin and greek classic.”

The Durants wrote an 11 volume historical study of civilization.  The writing began in 1935 with Our Oriental Heritage.  It took until 1953 to arrive at the Renaissance.  Should we consider the date of publication in our reading of these volumes?

It does seem to be a good foundation for understanding western civilization and Carl Jung. Should we also consider the series known as "The Great Books"?

Here is the place to discuss that.
