Another nice walk through the Divine Comedy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The authors blend their personal stories related to transpersonal psychology with an allegorical walk through Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise, and modern perspective to look at the cantos. Their modernism includes 22 quieting and meditative exercises for the reader and a storylike narrative on exploring Dante Algheri's legacy. Their modern perspective is based on work from the 20th century Jungian psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli from Florence, Italy.
a practical approach to the metaphor of the Commedia
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book is part an interpretation of Dante's Commedia and part a set of related practical meditation and visualization exercises for following Dante's path as interpreted by the authors.The fact that the Commedia is a metaphor for a psychological-spritual journey towards wholeness is certainly not original to the authors. They could have written volumes on the symbolism in the Commedia from a depth psychological perspective, but in doing so, they would have lost the popular appeal of this book as a guide for a psychological-spiritual practice. They manage the balance between interpretation and practice nicely.
