Artistic Intuition and the Psychoid Imagination

A 2-part lecture series by Joseph Cambray, Ph.D.
Sponsored by the journal Psychological Perspectives

These presentations will look at a range of imagery generated by artists and artisans, which capture descriptions of natural phenomena well in advance of the capacity of science or their day to accurately describe these events. The subsequent discovery and elucidation of scientific understanding of these same phenomena, often long after the death of the artists, tends to generate bemused curiosity about the prescient renditions of the artists, but without psychological formulation. As a step towards addressing this lacuna, Dr. Cambray discusses select examples of such artistic imagery in terms of imaginations attuned to the psychoid background of our world along with the correlative scientific validation of these images.

Joseph Cambray, Ph.D., is the Provost at Pacifica Graduate Institute; he is Past-President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology and has served as the U.S. Editor for The Journal of Analytical Psychology and is on various editorial boards. Dr. Cambray is a Jungian analyst now living in the Santa Barbara area of California. His numerous publications include the book based on his Fay Lectures: Synchronicity: Nature and Psyche in an Interconnected Universe.
