Philemon Foundation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Philemon Foundation is a non-profit organization that exists to prepare for publication the Complete Works of Carl Gustav Jung,[1] beginning with the previously unpublished manuscripts, seminars and correspondences.[2] It is estimated that an additional 30 volumes of work will be published and that the work will take three decades to complete.

The Foundation was established in 2003 to support the work of Sonu Shamdasani,[1] a London-based historian, in his then ongoing work of preparing Jung's Red Book for publication. Shamdasani is the co-founder of the Philemon Foundation with American Jungian analyst Stephen A. Martin.[3]

The works to date constitute the Philemon series. Several translators and editors have contributed within the series, developing a few topical sub-series on dreams, psychology, correspondence, lectures.

Many publications currently comprise the published work of the Foundation, including Jung's internationally recognized Red Book.

The various individual works within the Philemon series have been published by different publishers, including Princeton University Press[4] and W. W. Norton & Company[5]

Current projects[]

The foundation was able to raise the necessary funds through a collective resource campaign to publish Jung’s Unpublished Book on Alchemy and Individuation (1937). The projected start date for the project is July 2021, and will take eighteen months to complete.[6]

A notable upcoming work is Aniela Jaffé's The Original Protocols for Memories, Dreams, Reflections, a work cited throughout The Red Book and many other of the foundations now published works.
