Re: What Are You Reading Currently, 2.0
Jung seemed to be a big fan of Jesus. However, his appreciation seems to be more in terms of a utilitarian view, not because Jesus is the Son of God and Savior of the World.
He seemed to appreciate other religious symbols and myths equally, too.

Not for the faint-hearted, for sure.
I found Kant boring beyond my tolerance level.
Locke was much more interesting.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Kant boring, how about punishing beyound belief.

With Nietzsche, it was hard to know if it was the translation (Walter Kaufman) or the ideas, or just the level of my 18-19 year old maturity and intelligence, but I never could break through with him and get much out of his work.
At some point I think I will work my way backward in time to see the ideas that helped to shape Western thinking. I have a book called The Passion of the Western Mind: Understanding the Ideas That Have Shaped Our World View by Richard Tarnas that does a good job of summing up a few thousand years of the historical development of Western thinking, from Ancient Greece to the 1950's.
I've recently purchased Ben Shapiro's The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great which seems to be a much more accessible, lighter version of Tarnas. I started reading it, but found myself too deeply involved with too many books and couldn't give them all their due, so stopped to focus on Jung and Bloom for now.
I am very curious to read Hobbes' Leviathin.

In Jesus Name by David Reed.
Only one reference to Harry Morse, but it should be an interesting read.
