Chiron Publications specializes
in books on analytical psychology inspired by and extending the
work of C. G. Jung. Many of our titles also explore the psychology
of religion, mythology, literature and feminism, in addition to
translations of seminal works from Europe. As implied by the
name Chiron--a centaur and therefore an image bridging different
modes of human existence--our selection embraces many areas of thought
and discourse.
Chiron is the most celebrated
of the centaurs of Greek mythology. Chiron was entrusted with
the rearing and education of many Greek heroes including the healer
Aesculapius. Descended from an ancient race, half-human and
half-beast, centaurs were liminal figures who linked the instinctual
and spiritual dimensions of human existence. Figures like
Chiron symbolize a link between the wisdom of the body and newer
forms of human consciousness.
