Au début de son essai, Erich Neumann, élève et ami de Carl Gustav Jung, avec qui il entretiendra des liens épistolaires réguliers de 1933 jusqu’à sa mort en 1960, précise d’emblée que son sujet ne sera pas la mystique (die Mystik), mais ce qui est de l’ordre du mystique (das Mystische).

The main objective of the paper is to reveal the life-giving potential and spontaneous...
