Synchronicity by C.G. Jung Free PDF Download

Extracted from Volume 8. A parapsychological study of the meaningful coincidence of events, extrasensory perception, and similar phenomena. Jungs only extended work in the field of parapsychology aims, on the one hand, to incorporate the findings of extrasensory perception (ESP) research into a general scientific point of view and, on the other, to ascertain the nature of the psychic factor in such phenomena. While he had advanced the synchronicity hypothesis as early as the 1920s, Jung gave a full statement only in 1951, in an Eranos lecture; the following year (he was seventy-seven) he published the present monograph in a volume with a related study by the physicist (and Nobel winner) Wolfgang Pauli. Together with a wealth of historical and contemporary material on synchronicity, Jung describes an astrological experiment conducted to test his theory.
