Biography

Paul Bishop teaches German at the University of Glasgow. Following the publication of The Dionysian Self: C.G. Jung's Reception of Friedrich Nietzsche, he has written various articles on Jung's intellectual affinities with Weimar Classicism, German philosophy and literature, the history of Jung's relationship with the Rascher Verlag, and the psychology of Hans Triib.
