His descent into the underworld, in which there's an attempt to find the way of relating to the dead. This series of transcribed conversations between two eminent scholars provides nuanced and provocative context for Carl Jung’s Red Book and its influence on contemporary thinking.

In other works this led to a didactic and self righteous tone that his writing is largely worse for.

One of Lament’s biggest strengths and weaknesses is that it sees through the misappropriations of Jungian psychology over the last hundred years. It is saddening that both Jung’s Red Book and this one appeared so late — the Red Book almost a Century after it was written and Lament of the Dead so late in Hillman’s life and career. David Tacey has made the very good point that Jung abandoned the direction that The Red Book was taking him in.

The philosophical dialectic turns the conversation into an extended metaphor that indirectly supports the themes of the text.

They discuss the lament inherent in Jung, and express what it means to communicate, to open oneself to attend to the dead. Where normally the reader feels that a book is for them, here we feel that we are eavesdropping through a keyhole or from a phone line downstairs. We discuss the ideas and life of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung (pronounced YOONG), and all things Jungian. These two - Hillman and Shamdasani - seem to have no idea what other people - people other than Jungians - have been doing with Jung's material.

Many of the obvious elements for a discussion of the enormous Red Book are completely ignored in the dialogue. Moore, to my mind, reduces the polytheism and perplexity of Hillman's mercurial intellect to a soothing set of pastoral homilies. With success they mean hit so like if your Sword Master runs up and tries to debuff enemies using Envigorating Dance(weaken) of Comely Dance(breach). Their conclusion is that “the dead'' of our families, society, and human history foist their unlived life upon us. While the conversationalists don’t try to elucidate the meaning of individual passages of that difficult work, their talks do help the reader to understand and amplify its meaning and possible impact for our culture today, in the aftermath of the Red Book’s posthumous printing.
