Hello everyone, in this episode of the podcast I am speaking with Sylvester Wojtkowski about multiplicity. Amongst other things we talk about Jung and his dialogues with inner figures in the Red Book and the Black Books, and then we move onto Fernando Pessoa who after his death in Lisbon, in the fall of 1935, left ‘'one of the richest and strangest bodies of literature produced in the twentieth century’’ according to Richard Zenith(after his death a large wooden trunk full of hundreds, maybe thousands, of unpublished poems and prose pieces found their way into a handsome edition of his poetry, with separate volumes for his alter egos or ‘heteronyms’ as he called them. Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, Álvaro de Campos, and Fernando Pessoa himself).
Sylvester Wojtkowski PhD is a clinical psychologist and a Jungian psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City. He is a founding member of the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association (JPA). He teaches nationally and internationally on the subject archetypal psychology, imagination, and art. He has presented on several international conferences on Jung and art, on Fellini, on Banksy, and on the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke.
