The author attempts to fuse mystic tradition with psychology in his 1914 magnum opus. This led to his split from Sigmund Freud’s circle but influenced the writings of Carl Jung. Silberer explores alchemy, yoga, the Bhagavad Gita, and the occult traditions of secret societies such as the Freemasons and Rosicrucians.
Über den Autor
Herbert Silberer (1882-1923) was a Viennese psychoanalyst, who committed suicide after being expelled from Freud’s circle. His writings on mysticism and symbols influenced Carl Jung. He studied and wrote about the hypnagogic state—between waking and sleeping—which he thought to be representative of the individual’s state of mind. His books include The Hidden Symbolism of Alchemy and the Occult Arts and Der Traum (The Dream).
