Dual-Aspect Monism and the Deep Structure of Meaning, by Atmanspacher, H., & Rickles, D.

The book "Dual-Aspect Monism and the Deep Structure of Meaning" by Atmanspacher and Rickles delves into the connection between the mind and the material world, specifically focusing on Jung's concept of the Unus Mundus, archetypes, and synchronicity. The authors argue that this concept extends beyond the collaboration between Jung and Pauli and applies to other influential figures in quantum theory. Divided into three parts, the book covers the philosophical background, theories of meaning, and three approaches to quantum theory. While it requires a solid understanding of quantum theory, the book offers profound insights into the nature of the psyche and the implications of quantum theory. The text also explores the Pauli/Jung Conjecture, which examines the relationship between psychology and quantum physics. The authors propose a dual-aspect monism framework, where the psycho-physically neutral base separates into mental and physical states that are structurally correlated, with archetypal patterns forming the foundation of this correlation. The text further delves into the implications of this conjecture for analytical psychology, synchronicity, and the nature of meaning in the world. [Extracted from the article]
