Paul C. Bishop, Ph.D. is an Honorary Professorial Research Fellow in the School of Modern Languages & Cultures at the University of Glasgow in Scotland (a World 100 Top University).
He studied at The College of St. Mary Magdalen at the University of Oxford where he was a doctoral candidate in the Faculty of Modern Languages, and spent a year as the Lady Julia Henry Fellow at Harvard. He graduated with a Ph.D. from Oxford in 1994 with the dissertation “C.G. Jung’s Reception of Friedrich Nietzsche,” which was later published as the book, The Dionysian Self.
After holding the position of Professor of German at the University of Glasgow, in 2013 he was named the William Jacks Chair in Modern Languages at the university’s School of Modern Languages & Cultures, where he currently serves as an Honorary Professorial Research Fellow.
In 2010, Professor Bishop presented “Reading Goethe at Midlife: Ancient Wisdom, German Classicism, and Jung,” for the Zürich Lecture Series at the International School of Analytical Psychology (known as ISAP) in Zürich. And in 2022, he presented his essay, “The Red Book & Other Searchers for the Soul: The Case of Klages & Jung,” at the Eranos Conference, “Jung’s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul in the 21st Century,” which was later published as Volume 5 in the book series by Chiron Publications.
Professor Bishop has worked widely on different aspects of analytical psychology and its place in intellectual history. His research is focused on the intellectual background of both psychoanalysis and Jungian psychology. He is the editor of several titles including Jung in Contexts, The Persistence of Myth as Symbolic Form, and A Companion to Goethe’s Faust. He is also the author of over a dozen books including Jung’s Answer to Job, Nietzsche’s The Anti-Christ, and Reading Plato through Jung which was the subject of our first interview in Episode 131.
Last year, his essay “I Don’t Permit the Winter: Death and Life in Goethe and Jung” was published in the new book, Confronting Death, edited by Jungian psychoanalysts Luis Moris (Ep. 90) and Murray Stein (14 episodes), and the first volume in Professor Bishop’s new series, Jung and the Epic of Transformation, was published in May by Chiron. Wolfram von Eschenbach’s “Parzival” and the Grail as Transformation is the subject of our talk today.
