“In the Confluent Word Emptiness and Fullness” The Creative Gesture in C. G. Jung’s The Red Book

True testimony to the inner life of Swiss psychiatrist C.-G. Jung, the Red Book, long unpublished, calligraphed in Gothic writing and illustrated with paintings by the author, contains a reflection on the creative gesture itself, on the essence of words and images. This contribution aims to study the power of words in the Liber Novus, in relation to images and visions, madness and the experience of “that which creates through man”.
