Coincidence, meaning, and Jung’s theory of synchronicity

This volume presents Jung’s mature account of synchronicity, the idea he developed around coincidences that he believed scientific rationality could not fully explain. The essay’s background includes his discussions with Albert Einstein and his correspondence with physicist Wolfgang Pauli. Jung also draws on historical and contemporary material, including an astrological experiment he conducted in connection with the theory. The book places synchronicity within his broader investigation of psychic phenomena, giving readers a focused look at how he framed the subject and the evidence he brought to it.

Book overview

Jung's groundbreaking essay on synchronicity

C. G. Jung was intrigued from early in his career with coincidences, especially those surprising juxtapositions that scientific rationality could not adequately explain. He discussed these ideas with Albert Einstein before World War I but first used the term "synchronicity" in a 1930 lecture, in reference to the unusual psychological insights generated from consulting the I Ching. A long correspondence and friendship with the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli stimulated a final, mature statement of Jung's thinking on synchronicity, originally published in 1952 and reproduced here. Together with a wealth of historical and contemporary material, this essay describes an astrological experiment Jung conducted to test his theory. Synchronicity reveals the full extent of Jung's research into a wide range of psychic phenomena.
