About the Author(s)
Willy Obrist (1918–2013) studied philosophy, history, and medicine, and became an enthusiastic scientist in the field of human studies. After he had worked for a number of years as an internist (specializing in angiology) in his own practice in Switzerland, he decided to study depth psychology and completed his studies by becoming a training analyst. From 1979 to 2013 he was a lecturer at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich. He was a member of staff of the Stiftung für Humanwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung (Zurich), conducting fundamental research focusing on the evolution of consciousness. He was a co-founder of the Swiss Society of Religious Studies, of the Foundation of Analytical Psychology (Zurich), and of the Foundation to Foster Philosophy (Mönchengladbach, Germany).
