The Wisdom of Elders, the Spirit of Youth

By James Hillman and Michael Meade

Using surprising ideas and wit, along with mythological and psychological insight, Hillman and Meade look behind the great conflicts and divisions of modern culture and uncover hidden connections between youth and elders. Using the psychological complex of the “puer and senex,” the speakers create a dynamic field for understanding the youthful flights of spirit and the grounding wisdom of the wise old sage. This classic recording leads the listener into the necessary search for truth and beauty and the need to connect the individual soul to the living earth and the soul of the world.
