The Fountain of the Love of Wisdom: An Homage to Marie-Louise von Franz is a significant commemorative volume celebrating one of the twentieth century’s foremost Jungian scholars and analysts. Edited by Emmanuel Kennedy-Xypolitas, this collection brings together tributes, personal reminiscences, scholarly essays, letters and reflections from colleagues, students, friends and admirers of Marie-Louise von Franz, whose work profoundly shaped the study of analytical psychology and the interpretation of myths, fairy tales, dreams and alchemy.
Von Franz was Carl Gustav Jung’s closest collaborator for many years and remains one of the most influential figures in Jungian thought. The Fountain of the Love of Wisdom provides a unique insight into her life, personality and intellectual legacy through contributions from those who knew her personally and professionally. It includes heartfelt memorials, biographical reflections, previously unpublished correspondence, bibliographies and discussions of her enduring contribution to psychology and the humanities.
An indispensable resource for Jungian analysts, psychology students, therapists and readers interested in mythology, symbolism, spirituality and the unconscious, this book offers a deeply personal portrait alongside valuable historical and academic material. The Fountain of the Love of Wisdom serves not only as a tribute to Marie-Louise von Franz but also as an important reference work documenting the development of Jungian psychology during the twentieth century.
Published by Chiron Publications in 2006, The Fountain of the Love of Wisdom is sought after by collectors of Jungian literature and those assembling comprehensive collections of works related to Carl Jung and his circle. An excellent addition to any psychology, philosophy or spirituality library.
