Here the renowned analytical psychologist Erich Neumann draws on ritual, mythology, art, and records of dreams and fantasies to examine how this archetype has been outwardly expressed in many cultures and periods since prehistory. He shows how the feminine has been represented as goddess, monster, gate, pillar, tree, moon, sun, vessel, and every animal from snakes to birds. Neumann discerns a universal experience of the maternal as both nurturing and fearsome, an experience rooted in the dialectical relation of growing consciousness, symbolized by the child, to the unconscious and the unknown, symbolized by the Great Mother. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing a new foreword by Martin Liebscher, this Princeton Classics edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Great Mother\u003c\/i\u003e introduces a new generation of readers to this profound and enduring work.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErich Neumann\u003c\/b\u003e (1905-60), a psychologist and philosopher, was born in Berlin and lived in Tel Aviv from 1934 until his death.
