The Blazing Sublime was seeded by the first-ever joint Jung/Lacan conference at Cambridge, England. Broadly oriented by the protean notion of the sublime, the conference was held against the backdrop of the one hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of The Great War, which radically changed many of the western world's rational values and belief systems. Over a glorious weekend at St John's College, more than forty clinicians and academics from both psychoanalytic traditions came together to debate aspects of creativity and destruction inherent in the monstrous, awe-inspiring sublime, via the application of a depth psychological lens. The chapters in this book include some of the outcrop of this conference, with the addition of various new contributors, and they will excite readers by their display of similarities and differences between Jungian and Lacanian thinking on key topics such as language/linguistics, literature, religion, self/subject, science, mathematics and philosophy. The overall objective of this vitalizing volume is the dissemination of new ideas that will attract practising psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and academics in the field, as well as all those who are piqued by the still revolutionary thinking of Jung and Lacan.
