The Human Soul: Mysteries and Complexities of the Psyche - Paperback

by Karl Konig (Author)

New edition of the classic study of the characteristics of the human soul, which outlines four distinct stages of consciousness. New in the Karl Kӧnig Archive.

In this book Karl Kӧnig looks at a range of human experiences, including pain, anxiety, fear, shame and anger, and distinguishes four stages of consciousness: normal day-consciousness, dreaming, sleeping and deep sleep.

Although much has changed in the field of psychology since The Human Soul was written in the middle of the twentieth century, this book nevertheless remains a meaningful exploration into the mysteries and complexities of the human psyche.

This new Karl Kӧnig Archive edition of the classic text has been updated with never-before published lectures by Konig on psychology and the human soul, including notes from the two talks that originally inspired this book.
