Soft metal
Chrome coated die-cast. Not great, but it works for now.

The educators themselves must be educated
The desciption on the book says that the principle has a long history, from the middle ages and Schopenauee and so on, but this book does not cover that history at all. It should be titled Jung's Principle of Individuation. And Jung appears to draw only from Nietzsche's mistaken conceptions of the principle from the beginning of his first work, Birth of Tragedy. Not only would the author, Murray Stein, had been better off studying the history of the principle, but so would have Jung benefited from such a study.

Huge Disappointment
I have read more of Adorno's works than any other philosopher, as well as more "companion" readers on Adorno than on any other philosopher. Susan Buck Morss is still the scholar who articulates him best ("still", as in, ever since the 1970's). It seems that the faculty commissioned by Cambridge to do this report are not Adorno scholars in the least. They claim that Adorno is an "idealist". He most certainly is not! He is a materialist, whose main project is the search for the "non-conceptual". They also claim Adorno is a Hegelian. He most definitely is not! Next to Heidegger, there is no other who receives more hard criticism from Adorno than Hegel. Furthermore, Adorno is a self-professed Kantian, who insists on reminding us that the dialectic we know and love from Hegel began with Kant. Do yourself a favor. Read Buck Morss' "Origin of Negative Dialectics" instead. The "Adorno: Key Concepts" reader is also very good. It seems to me that this Cambridge reader is intended to convolute Adorno, enshroud his work in confusion, and otherwise "fob off" any who might take up his project for themselves.
