EK: Edição monótona, enfadonha, cansativa. Trata-se de mera impressão de texto, sem tratamento gráfico.
Não tem coerência com a obra de Jung, geralmente bem diagramada e ilustrada. A espera também foi bem maior do que o previsto, e eu deveria ter cancelado. Não recomendo.

DNixso: Delivered before the estimated date. The book also came with a free bookmark, which is a nice addition. I would rate 5 stars, but one page at the end of the book was flipped (although it wasn't anything major).

Victoria Costeau: Jung's "Synchronicity" is an essay about those moments when everything just seems to come together. Jung defined synchronicity as "the coincidence in time of two or more causally unrelated events which have the same meaning". Synchronicity is a cluster of meaningful patterns that normal cause and effect has not caused. Synchronicity is acausal. Beyond cause as we know it. A bridge between the known and the unknown, between the conscious and the unconscious. Though there have been others from the West that have expanded upon Jung's thoughts concerning synchronicity this is still a very good place to start. For further reading I would suggest looking to Jean Shinoda Bolen and F. David Peat, among others. For an Oriental perspective regarding acausality, synchronicity, may I suggest the "I Ching" and "Tao Te Ching". Lao Tzu, the author of "Tao Te Ching", is the father of Taoism. As Barbara Marx Hubbard has said, "The spiral of our evolutionary progress is turning back in time to reconnect with the great sage Lao Tzu". Taoism is a way of life that attempts to live in harmony with the unity of the universe by following the natural grain of things, of going with the flow. Wisdom is...

Ricardo: Synchronicity is a very interesting book, a Jung's essay containing such a diverse phenomena like ESP, psychokinesis telepathy and astrological experiments, along with scientific, philosophical an epistemological reflections. Jung introduced the idea of synchronicity to strip off the fantasy, the magic, and the superstition related to the unpredictable events that seem to be connected.

Jung states that the current philosophical principle that underlies our conception of natural law is the CAUSALITY. This misunderstanding is caused by several assumptions that rest on the current EPISTEMOLOGY. But, What about the events that have no causal relationship?

"Causality occupies this paramount position with us, but it acquired its importance only in the course of the last two centuries, thanks to the levelling influence of the statistical method on the one hand and the unparalleled success of the natural sciences on the other, which brought the metaphysical view of the world into disrepute."

Jung proposes SYNCHRONICITY as a new factor to explain the reality using a new model that includes both the causal and acausal phenomena. Synchronicity means the simultaneous...

Gregory Alan Wingo: This work by Jung is a fascinating look at the subjective experience of being a human mind in a physical universe. He begins the book with the following statements:

1) Natural laws are statistical truths, which means that they are completely valid only when we are dealing with macrophysical quantities.

2) The philosophical principle that underlies our conception of natural law is causality.

3) Their [Acausal events] existence - or at least their possibility - follows logically from the premise of statistical truth.

4) But if the causal principle is only relatively valid, then it follows that even though in the vast majority of cases an apparently chance series can be causally explained, there must still remain a number of cases which do not show any causal connection.

5) Chance groupings or series seem, at least to our present way of thinking, to be meaningless, and to fall as a general rule within the limits of probability.

6) Should this proof (of acausal events exceeding the limits of probability) be forthcoming, however, it would prove at the same time that there are genuinely non-causal combinations of events for whose explanation we...
