Senex and Puer: Uniform Edition of the Writings of James

Senex and Puer: Uniform Edition of the Writings of James Hillman, Vol. 3 (James Hillman Uniform Edition)
- Used Book in Good Condition
This volume, for the first time, collects James Hillmanâ€™s running encounters with a primary psychological pattern, an archetype that arises alongside the very attempt to fashion psychological perspective. Senex and puer are Latin terms for â€œold manâ€ and â€œyouth,â€ and personify the poles of tradition, stasis, structure, and authority on one side, and immediacy, wandering, invention and idealism on the other. The senex consolidates, grounds and disciplines; the puer flashes with insight and thrives on fantasy and creativity. These diverging, conflicting tendencies are ultimately interdependent, forming two faces of the one configuration, each face never far from the other. â€œOldâ€ and â€œnewâ€ maybe the most direct terms for the pair.
