Introduction
Dr. Moore's early research, noted in his book The Magician and the Analyst: The Archetype of the Magus in Occult Spirituality and Jungian Analysis, served as a threshold to the discovery of structures in the collective unconscious and marked his first steps toward the "Neo-Jungian Structural Psychoanalysis" that is today, almost three decades later, his primary area of research which includes the mapping of the inner geography and structure of the archetypal Self, its different forms of libido and lines of psychological development, and related structures in the collective unconscious.
His work has its roots in the intellectual lineage which includes such theorists as Adolf Bastian (1826-1905), Wilheml Dilthey (1833-1911), Carl Jung (1875-1961), Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962), Erik Erikson (1902-1994), Joseph Campbell (1904-1987), Mircea Eliade (1907-1986), Ludwig von Bertalanffy, Victor Turner (1920-1983), Edward Edinger (1922-1998), Joseph Henderson, Toni Wolff (1888-1953), Edward Whitmont, Anthony Stevens, Theodore Millon, and many others.
Dr. Moore's research rests on a few fundamental assumptions that challenge the current intellectual climate while continuing the intellectual tradition of the psychic unity of humanity. According to these assumptions, (1) the human psyche is structured, (2) most of the basic structure is species-wide (a collective unconscious underlies both the personal and cultural unconscious), (3) this structure influences basic behavior patterns, including those of ritual processes and the mythic imagination, (4) the morphogenic potential of this structure requires cultural support for its mature evocation and integration in human selfhood and society, (5) the structures can be scientifically studied with interdisciplinary cooperation, and (6) continuing ignorance or denial of these structures and their importance, however rationalized, has many social, political, ethical, and spiritual dangers.
