Should I steal this?

Should I steal this?

I'm don't usually agree with stealing, but for fuck's sake.

Why is it so expensive?

You're lucky you can find it physically near you. Steal me one too, will you?

isn't this his schizo book?
jung doesn't deserve to be read in book format, he's basically an intellectual new-age guru albeit one of the better ones.

>the psychologist responsible for the foundation of everything we know about psychology in the modern world is an "intellectual new-age guru"

Are you the user who was begging for a digital copy of it on 55? Just go to a library or read it in English.

Literally just google "the red book pdf" and you will find a link for a complete version of the book, with illustrations and english translation, for free

No
The resolution is shit. This book doesn't deserve that resolution. The book is very large for a reason.

Yes. Apparently a library in my country has it in all its stores. If it's unsealed then I'll just read it there and come back every day? If not maybe I'll fucking steal it who knows. For me it's a horrible thing to do but there's no way I'm paying that much for a book. At least not now anyway.

psych is a cult although relatively debatably benign and no he's not the only member but yes most of them are intellectual new-age gurus and he's just one of the better ones.

Then fucking don't read it you piece of trash. Yes, people read rare books in libraries. If you deny other people that access because you're poor/cheap/lazy, you are lower than garbage and shouldn't pretend to value literature in any way. I guarantee there are better books to read anyway

Your falsifiability has no power here STEM wizard.

>library
>store

The Reader's Edition is only like $15.

You don't need to non-Reader's edition unless you want to study the original German text and care about the images.

If you don't care about the images, don't get the book.

I've already got the $200 facsimile edition though, there's a massive disconnect with the English translation and the original typesetting and art.

Library books belong to everyone, just check it out you filthy mongrel. there is no reason you need a fucking fag book enough to steal it from a public goddamn library.

Well, the publisher usually publishes textbooks so you can be sure that the price is both fair (because the book is probably printed in good quality), and they're the only ones who seem to have it so they can jack up the price accordingly.
You sound like an entitled moron, to be honest. If you really want the German version so badly, just save up and buy it. It doesn't seem like it'll be sold out in the meantime. Since it is a textbook publisher, though, you might wait a couple years and maybe they will release a second edition which will make this one more affordable (but I assume you're the type of person to immediately want the newest edition). Really, don't steal the public's books, you should go in every day and carefully study with a notebook next to you.

Other than that, my curiosity to see what this thread was about has led me to figure out who C.G. Jung is! I am totally amazed, this guy was fucking brilliant and I've never read anything of his, or been spoken to about him. The closest I've been is reading some Hesse. So... Thanks for that, I guess, I'll be ordering the Reader's Edition as soon as I get my next paycheck.

I'm sorry I meant book store.
You need a long soft hug.

Well I can speak german, of course I care about the pictures this man spent a lot of time creating them so I think they're worthy of admiring or analizing. And there isn't any reader's edition where I'm from.

I meant book store. The word library in my mother tongue litteraly means book store. I'm sorry for mistaking the two. Not a public library. The book is most likely sealed and will be left at that unless I buy it or steal it.

Hey. No problem. I had the same thought when I discovered this thread a few days ago. I just ordered some books by him. Can't wait to read them.

And I meant book store not library and there is only one book edition where I'm from and I also speak german so I do care for the writing. Well I'll read his other books first and then I'll probably read this in the book store and if I consider it to be too important to be read in a book store then I'll save up and fucking buy it, or maybe I'll just steal it

By the way what do you mean by the closest you've been is reading somw hesse. What hesse books are about psychology or occultism or dreams. Or in what way are they close to cg jung?

Well, I'm just learning about this myself. But there's a connection between them. Hesse really admired Jung. I don't know if I can post the link here so just google 'Steppenwolf and Abraxas – Hermann Hesse and C.G. Jung revisited' it's just a blog post, but it's interesting.

Diogenes said stealing is fine because 'everything belongs to the wise' so...

sure man, do whatever

kill a cop, suck a dick, go nuts

Eat ass, suck a dick, sell drugs.

Update: apparently where I'm from nobody really buys this book so it's had a discount plus there are voucher codes so in the end the book becomes half its original price, so I'll just save up and buy the book.

Don't let ethics get in the way of becoming knowledgeable. Jung is dust now anyway.

don't be gross

Publishing The Red Book was a massive risk for all parties involved, If it doesn't sell well they aren't going to continue publishing other works by Jung and Norton are already publishing less and less niche and academic stuff.
