The Call of the Daimon: Love and Truth in the Writings of Franz Kafka moves easily between Kafka's life, characters and events in the novels, contemporary poetry, and Aldo Carotenuto's interpretations of critical Jungian perspectives. The primary human event that interests Carotenuto is the call of the daimon: the desire for truth and love that destroys all misconceptions and self-delusions, that demands a constant creative response to life's difficulties, and that ultimately allows the seeker no rest.
Both at and analysis are responses to a probing need for truth and love. The daimon’s call is the summons to find them, regardless of cost. Kafka made the journey alone for the most part and he recorded his search in his writings. Here, Carotenuto reads two of Kafka’s novels, The Trial and The Castle, from the perspective of Jungian Psychology, and finds, if not love and truth, a creative response to the dilemmas of life.
Aldo Carotenuto is a professor of personality theory at the University of Rome and the director of the Review of Analytical Psychoanalysis and the Historical Journal of Dynamic Psychology. His many books include The Difficult Art, Kant’s Dove, and A Secret Symmetry: Sabina Speilrein Between Jung and Freud. He lives and practices in Rome
