Summary: A great book
Review: Excellent - well written and very readable examination of popular Jungian-based ideas about masculinity and feminist/post-modern cricitism of the masculine. Also compares and contrasts Jungian and postmodern thought, making a strong case for the need to recognize archetypal and spiritual aspects of human nature and society.

Summary: A great book
Review: This is one of the best works to come out of modern Jungian studies. To my mind, it is also far and away the very best of the many examinations of masculinity to have come out in the last fifteen years. It is especially a much needed antidote to the sentimental pap that came in the wake of Bly's "Iron John". A disenchanted ex-analysand of James Hillman, Tacey is now Hillman's (and Bly's) most potent critic. But he is concerned with more than simply poking holes in what he sees as schlock, he has much original thought to contribute to our ideas of masculine and feminine. His tone is risky, at times almost shrill, but his thought is clear and exciting.
