This book traces the pivotal role Jung played in reframing Buddhist thought as a psychological tradition, a shift that continues to influence contemporary interpretations of meditation, mindfulness, and the self. Exploring both the historical context of Jung’s engagement with Buddhism and its lasting impact, this book examines how his theories of individuation, the collective unconscious, and psychological typology resonated with Buddhist thought. It also critically assesses the diverse ways Buddhism has been psychologized, from ethical philosophy to modern therapeutic practice. By positioning Buddhism as a “science of the unconscious,” this volume discusses how Jung’s ideas helped bridge Eastern philosophy and Western psychology, offering a new framework for understanding Buddhist doctrine. A vital contribution to Buddhist studies and the history of psychology, this book offers fresh insights for scholars, students, and practitioners alike.

This volume is a collection of pamphlets prepared over the years by the London thinktank which laid the foundation for the policies of Margaret Thatcher, and charted the course for the domestic and international policies of Great Britain over the years, in the longest tenure as prime minister of this century. Various pamphlets address in depth a broad range of key issues from privitisation, to new thoughts on the welfare state, to education. This compilation provides perhaps the most comprehensive and thorough exploration of Thatcher's policies available, as it is the product of those who developed them and understand them best, explaining how the ideas of the free market are combined with those of social responsibility. Such information is invaluable to anyone interested in gaining a genuine understanding of the inner workings of Great Britain and its role in the world today.
