Deciphering the Cosmic Number: The Strange Friendship of Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli

19 May 2010 7pm - 19 May 2010 9pm

Venue: London

Venue: Colet House, 151 Talgarth Road, London W14 9DA 

The subject of this evening’s lecture will be Arthur Miller’s new book in which he explores how Carl Jung analysed the dream imagery of one of his most famous patients, the ground-breaking physicist Wolfgang Pauli. It’s the story of two mavericks – Pauli, a physicist who – unlike his peers – was fascinated by the inner reaches of his own psyche and not afraid to dabble in the occult; and Jung, the famous psychologist who nevertheless was sure that science held answers to some of the questions that tormented him. Both made enormous and lasting contributions to their fields. But in their many conversations over dinner and wine at Jung’s Gothic mansion on the shores of Lake Zurich, they went much further, striking sparks off each other as they explored the middle ground between their two subjects.
