Jung and Goethe to investigate its relevance for today. Tracing how \"the ages of humankind\" became \"the stages of life\" in which the midlife crisis represents a pivotal moment, Paul Bishop offers a detailed analysis of a paper by Jung on this subject. He then shifts the focus to Goethe's interest in Orphic wisdom, and one of Goethe's major later poems, \"Primal Words. Orphic\" (\u003cem\u003eUrworte Orphisch\u003c\/em\u003e). Using Jungian ideas to explore the psychological implications of this poem, Bishop draws on Goethe's own commentary, and other background material, to uncover its vital message.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eReading Goethe at Midlife\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e reveals the remarkable symmetry between the ideas and Jung and Goethe. Jung's analysis of the stages of life, and his advice to heed the \"call of the self,\" are brought into the conjunction with Goethe's emphasis on the importance of hope, showing an underlying continuity of thought and relevance from ancient wisdom, via German classicism to analytical psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of Abbreviations \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreface to the second edition \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART ONE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: \u003cstrong\u003eThe Stages of Life and the Midlife Crisis: A Brief\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory of an Idea \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwo Visual Starting Points - From the Ages of Humankind...\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e...\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eto the Stages of Life -- The Stages of Life: An Idea Comes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eof \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eAge - The Midlife Crisis - Walter B.
