History of Modern Psychology: Lectures Delivered at Eth Zurich, Volume 1, 1933-1934: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "History of Modern Psychology: Lectures Delivered at Eth Zurich, Volume 1, 1933-1934" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Between 1933 and 1941, C. G. Jung delivered a series of public lectures at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. Intended for a general audience, these lectures addressed a broad range of topics, from dream analysis to yoga and meditation. Here for the first time in English are Jungs lectures on the history of modern psychology from the Enlightenment to his own time, delivered in the fall and winter of 1933-34.
In these inaugural lectures, Jung emphasizes the development of concepts of the unconscious and offers a comparative study of movements in French, German, British, and American thought. He also gives detailed analyses of Justinus Kerners The Seeress of Prevorst and Thodore Flournoys From India to the Planet Mars. These lectures present the history of psychology from the perspective of one of the fields most legendary figures. They provide a unique opportunity to encounter Jung speaking for specialists and nonspecialists alike and are the primary source for understanding his late work.
Featuring cross-references to the Jung canon and explanations of concepts and terminology, History of Modern Psychology painstakingly reconstructs and translates these lectures from manuscripts, summaries, and recently recovered shorthand notes of attendees. It is the first volume of a series that will make the ETH lectures available in their entirety to English readers.

In May 1933 C. G. Jung applied to the Swiss education board to be accepted as a lecturer in the field of modern psychology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Eidgenssische Technische Hochschule; henceforth: ETH). the lectures have not as yet been published. This omission has now been rectified with this new publication.
ETH It was also deemed important to consider the different constituencies in the country, so it was contended that the university should be built in the German-speaking area of the country, while the polytechnic should be situated where French was spoken. Francophone cantons cautioned against the negative cultural influences of an institution with a Swiss-German character (against Germanification), while Catholic cantons feared the negative consequences of an institute in a Protestant area. Further, there were financial considerations: the new state had as yet scarcely any income at its disposal. The cantons in question would be obliged to provide buildings for the respective institutions. There were already several universities in the country (in Basle, Zurich, Bern, Lausanne, and Geneva). The National Council (great chamber) finally approved the joint project in 1854. The council of states (small chamber) failed to ratify the university proposal, authorizing only a polytechnic. It apparently did not consider such an institution to be significant. The canton of Zurich expressed an interest in adopting the project; soon a federal polytechnic was finally created in the city of Zurich.
Courses began as early as the autumn of 1855. There were six departments: I. architecture; II. engineering; III. mechanical engineering; IV. chemical engineering; V. forestry; VI. department of philosophy and public economics (= elective subjects), including a) sciences; b) mathematics; c) literature and public economics; d) the arts. The curriculum was to be delivered in one of the national languages: German, French, or Italian. Even today at ETH, key subjects are taught in two or three of the national languages. Departments IV offered solid courses leading to diplomas in technical disciplines. Admission to courses required a specific high-school qualification or an entrance examination. Department VI was to foster a grounding in general cultural values, without a specific final qualification. The subdepartments c) and d) were also open to members of the public wishing to attend single lectures, with no special entrance requirements. In time, the departments at ETH increased, with some being reorganized or redesignated, although the basic structure remained the same. Traditional university disciplines such as theology, medicine, classics, and so on were not offered.
Department VI c) was particularly important: It offered a broad spectrum of lectures in philosophical, literary, historical, and political education. The concept of the university lived on in this department, and in this way students were introduced to the culture of their fellow citizens from other language communities. It was obligatory to attend at least one such lecture per week. These subjects were taught only to a level of relevance to aspiring engineers and scientists. The teaching of subjects with a low requirement for hours of attendance was delivered not by permanently employed professors, but by private associate professors. The education board pursued a high quality of teaching and advertised assistant professorship appointments internationally. The German author and philosopher Friedrich Theodor Vischer and the Swiss art historian Jacob Burckhardt were among those appointed in department VI c).
At its opening in 1855, the polytechnic was not as yet housed in its own building. Since the canton of Zurich was required to make premises available, the courses initially took place in rooms belonging to the university near the present-day Bahnhofstrasse and in the cantons grammar school. However, the success of the new institute soon gave rise to a shortage of space. The notable German architect Gottfried Semper (recommended by Richard Wagner who lived in Zurich at the time) had been head of department I since 1855. He was commissioned to design a new building for ETH. Switzerland at that time had a population of ca. 2.5 million, the canton of Zurich ca. 270,000, the city of Zurich ca. 20,000. through large extensions and renovations that took place between 1915 and 1924. The faade of the north wing flaunts allegorical wall paintings, designed to proclaim both the authority of the Swiss federal state, represented by the armorial crests of the cantons, and the academic ambitions of the institute:

Although originally initiated through small-state politics, the polytechnic was an international success. Courses had begun in 1855 with 71 students. The collection of the holdings of the present-day ETH students enrolled at the polytechnic. Of them, around two-thirds came from Switzerland, one-third from abroad, specifically from Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Germany. Even Albert Einstein studied at what was then the Institute for Specialist Teachers of Math and Science between 1898 and 1902. In 1905, the polytechnic was renamed the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). At the time of Jungs application it included twelve departments with a total of approximately 1700 students and several hundred visiting students. The Department of Philosophy and Public Economics was now called Department XII for Elective Subjects and included philosophy/economics and math/science technical sections. The former was further divided into the areas of 1) literature, languages, philosophy (where Jung was active); and 2) historical and political sciences.
