Egypt's Legacy Summary
|
In "Egypt's Legacy," Michael Rice reviews the majesty of the history of Ancient Egypt from 3000-30 BC. Drawing upon Jungian analytical psychology, he argues that our interest in Egypt stems from a conscious acknowledgement of its achievements and an instinctive appreciation of its ability to express aspects of our unconscious. Jung claimed that there exist certain psychological drives dormant in our shared unconscious--archetypes. Characteristic Egyptian institutions such as the nation-state and an omnipotent, isolated god were powerful and complex archetypes. Rice contends that these archetypes underlie most of the accepted norms of Western civilization and through an inherited unconscious, these civilizations are influenced in their attempts to give archetypes form. |
