Description
"This book charts history's many different ways of explaining the unconscious mind, from ancient descriptions of the 'underworld' to theories of contemporary neuroscience. But whatever metaphors the story-telling impulse attaches to the phenomena of the unconscious, it is not really a single entity, but a jumbled collection of notions in urgent need of untangling. Guy Claxton's book does just this, taking in intellectual and cultural history, literature and spirituality, from the myths and beliefs of ancient Egypt and Homer's Greece to modern Polynesia."--Jacket.
