David Tacey presents a unique psychological study of the postsecular, adding a Jungian perspective to a debate shaped by sociology, philosophy and religious studies. He looks at the unexpected return of the sacred in Western societies, and how the sacred is changing our understanding of humanity and culture.

David Tacey is Emeritus Professor of Humanities, La Trobe University, Australia. He is the author of many books, including The Darkening Spirit: Jung, Spirituality, Religion (Routledge).
