Senex And Puer by James Hillman
A concise exploration of two archetypal figures—the reflective, boundary-setting elder and the restless, eternally youthful spirit—and how their clash and interplay shape individual development and cultural values; the book uses mythic imagery and depth-psychological thinking to show that aging is not merely biological decline nor youth simply a problem to be solved, but psychic postures with gifts and pathologies, urging a revaluation that honors imagination, responsibility, and the soul’s need for both containment and novelty.
