An Interview with Jungian James Hillman.

James Hillman - psychologist, scholar, culture critic, and author of more than 20 books, including the bestselling “The Soul’s Code” - is one of the modern era’s most original thinkers on the human and collective psyche. 

Now approaching his 85th birthday, I spoke with Hillman as he was recuperating from two years of illness. 
It’s a new life, he told me. A lot of reflection instead of ambition.

The American psyche has always stoked Hillman’s reflections.

The following is the second half of an edited version of our conversation on the current zeitgeist.
