A six-part online series over three weekends exploring the remarkable encounter between C.G. Jung and Wolfgang Pauli, and their shared search for a deeper understanding of psyche, matter and meaning.

Plato’s metaphor of the cave, an underground vault where back-lit humans observe life’s goings on as a play of shadows on a wall, has long held a fascination for thinkers. It suggests that the world we experience in our day-to-day business is not all that there is. Rather it arises from structures that are less substantial to our senses, but equally real, existing in a layer of reality beneath the commonplace. Philosophically, the mainstream has moved away from Neo-Platonism, but suggestions from quantum mechanics, mathematics and other aspects of science, along with the philosophy of mind and some modern thinking on aesthetics, ethics and morality, suggest that Plato’s ideas are worth revisiting.
