Archetypes and transgression

The monograph covers a range of issues in depth psychology, non-classical philosophy, and aesthetics. It analyzes the interrelation of universals, projection, and the passions of the human soul. The main aspects of human existence are presented, viewed through the lens of depth psychology and existential-phenomenological philosophy. Their connection is shown both with the acting subject, projecting and constructing civilization, and with the symbolic life of the soul embodied in fairy tales, dreams, and artistic creation. The question is how the life of the soul is embodied in art and realized in design. In other words, the aim of the research is to comprehend the unity of unique human existence and universal collective unconscious through symbolic forms of corporeality, culture, art, and design. The publication is intended for cultural studies scholars, psychologists, designers, artists, and all those interested in issues of personality in the modern world.
