From the ancient symbol of the serpent to the archetypal masculine and feminine, from the earth to the stars, from the primordial landscape of the savannah to the mysterious depths of the sea, such symbols express the most profound preoccupations of humanity. In "Ariadne's Clue", Jungian analyst and psychiatrist Anthony Stevens explores the nature of symbols to explain how and why we create them. Taking the ideas of C.G. Jung a stage further, Stevens asserts that we not only possess an innate inclination to make symbols, but also that the human mind evolved this ability as a result of selection pressures encountered during our evolutionary history. In the extensive Thesaurus which forms the second part of the book, Stevens traces a host of common symbols back through time, explains their development and significance, and reveals their deep-rooted effect on our lives.
