[Originally a lecture, “Paracelsus als geistige Erscheinung,” which, revised and expanded, was published in Paracelsica: Zwei Vorlesungen über den Arzt und Philosophen Theophrastus (Zurich, 1942).
[In the present translation, chapter and section headings have been added to elucidate the structure of the monograph. Two brief statements found among Jung’s posthumous papers have, because of their relevance to the subject-matter, been added as footnotes on pp. 136 and 144.—EDITORS.]
