Drawing on the perennial philosophy, the universal expression of absolute truth, Upton offers a metaphysical and cultural critique of Robert Bly's \u003cem\u003eIron John. \u003c\/em\u003eUpton adopts Bly's shadow in the Jungian sense. His intellectual argument is masterfully intertwined with his own personal and spiritual journey, often expressed through original poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The book is excellent. Upton's insights have exposed the shallow philosophical thinking associated with the Men's Movement, the inadequacy of polytheism as a religious faith, and the bias against Christianity. \u003cem\u003eHammering Hot Iron\u003c\/em\u003e does a splended job of critiquing Jungian writers and in showing there is more to God than the archetype of God in the psyche.
