City & Soul, comprises Hillman’s writings on the psychology of public affairs: urbanism, environmental aesthetics, citizenship, and politics. Because basic ideas—the importance of mythical and archetypal foundations, anima mundi and animating the soul of the world, the politics of beauty and ugliness, city as nature, community and the common—are central to Hillman’s thought, these themes repeat throughout the book, a repetition that is necessary to the integrity of its inspiration.

Alchemical Psychology combines all of Hillman’s papers on the alchemical imagination from 1980 to the present. Hillman called the early attempt to present his way of grasping this material, in the 1960s at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, “Alchemical Opus / Analytical Work.” His intention then as now is to give psychoanalysis another method for imagining its ideas and procedures by showing how alchemy bears directly on psychological life, more clinically immediate and less spiritually progressivist.

Mythic Figures, Volume 6 (previously Volume 6.1) of the Uniform Edition of the Writings of James Hillman, collects Hillman’s papers and lectures on many of the leading figures in mythology, including Aphrodite, Apollo, Athene, Dionysus, Hera, Hestia, Hermes, Oedipus, Okeanos, Orpheus, Mars, Moses, and Zeus. Myths have relevance to psychology because the Greeks, as Hillman writes, “had no depth psychology and psychopathology such as we have. They had myths. And we have no myths as such—instead, depth psychology and psychopathology. Therefore, … psychology shows myths in modern dress and myths show our depth psychology in ancient dress.”
