Mythic Figures: 2017 James Hillman Symposium
The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture

In Mythic Figures, volume 6.1 of the Uniform Edition, James Hillman asks, “What is the truth of myth?” and then answers himself: “This question is particularly important since the modern, secular notion of myth usually means falsehood and fantasy, anything but the truth.” The volume is concerned with psychopathology and myth. As Jung famously said, “the gods have become our diseases.” Hillman points out the psychopathology of each type of human behavior that is manifested in different spheres connected to the gods and myth; he will discuss the virtues but then call to your attention the underside. Speakers "sounded the speech of a particular mythic figure, one that [Hillman] had written about in the volume . . . and spoke resonances of mythic moments re-sounding in our time" [Robert Sardello, Preface, Conversing with James Hillman: Mythic Figures, forthcoming 2018].
