McMillan Institute Inaugural Lecture: Jung in the Postmodern Era

The Jung Center presents McMillan Institute Inaugural Lecture: Jung in the Postmodern Era.

Jung’s work was born out of 19th Century scientific certainty, Romantic inclinations, and Christian sensibility, and it matured amidst 20th Century insights regarding the relativization of consciousness.

Now a careful “re-visioning” of the core of his project reveals a strong underlying accord with paradoxical post-modern precepts of the predictability of uncertainty and the rational nature of chaos.

This lecture will explore ways in which “Jung” can be understood as on the cutting edge of contemporary consciousness regarding our everyday lives both as individuals and as a culture.

Ronald Schenk, PhD, Jungian analyst, is currently in private practice in Dallas and Houston, and his interests are in clinical thought, cultural psychology, and post-modernism. A senior training analyst and recent president of the Inter- Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, he has written four books and several essays in Jungian publications.
