Lucifer and Prometheus is a work of psychological literary criticism written by R.J. Zwi Werblowsky and published in 1952. In it, Werblowsky argues that the Satan of John Milton's Paradise Lost became a disproportionately appealing character because of attributes he shares with the Greek Titan Prometheus. It has been called "most illuminating" for its historical and typological perspective on Milton's Satan as embodying both positive and negative values. The book has also been significant in pointing out the essential ambiguity of Prometheus and his dual Christ-like/Satanic nature as developed in the Christian tradition.

  • Lucifer y Prometeo es una obra de crítica literaria psicológica escrita por R.J. Zwi Werblowsky y publicada en 1952. En ella, Werblowsky argumenta que el Satanás​ de El paraíso perdido de John Milton se convirtió en un personaje desproporcionadamente atractivo debido a los atributos que comparte con el titán griego Prometeo. Se le ha llamado "más esclarecedor" por su perspectiva histórica y tipológica sobre el Satanás de Milton que incorpora valores tanto positivos como negativos. ​ El libro también ha sido significativo al señalar la ambigüedad esencial de Prometeo y su naturaleza dual satánica o similar a la de Cristo desarrollada en la tradición cristiana. ​ Werblowsky utiliza la terminología de Carl Jung y su escuela al examinar las "proyecciones mitológicas de la psique humana", aunque enfatiza que no le interesa el concepto del arquetipo en el sentido estrictamente junguiano. Más bien, él ve el mito de figuras como Satanás y Prometeo que expresan "las deficiencias ... del mundo tal como lo concibe el alma humana". La relación de poder y civilización se explora a través de la interacción de los conceptos del pecado del Antiguo Testamento y la hibris griega. En este análisis, Satanás "se convierte en el único exponente del poder en este universo sublunar, post-lapsario pero pre-escatológico, y por lo tanto se erige como el prototipo del esfuerzo civilizador humano". Werblowsky se propone explorar "lo heroico en sus límites", y hace explícito el factor motivador de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y sus horrores al emprender este estudio: La bestia apocalíptica desatada se ha convertido en una realidad para nuestra generación, y nadie sabe lo que aún nos espera. Por lo tanto, es comprensible que los libros sobre el diablo hayan ido en aumento últimamente. ... Si los intentos de esta escuela aún no han dado mucho fruto, es porque tememos más a la vista del diablo que a su actividad, y debido a una reticencia muy comprensible para forzar la apertura de nuestros 'sepulcros blanqueados'.​ Lucifer y Prometeo fue uno de los 204 volúmenes de la serie de la Biblioteca Internacional de Psicología, Filosofía y Método Científico publicada entre 1910 y 1965 e incluyendo títulos de Jung, Sigmund Freud, Jean Piaget, Erich Fromm y otros. Fue el primer libro publicado de Werblowsky.​ Este volumen fue reeditado en 1999 por Routledge. Incluye una introducción escrita por Jung. (es)
  • Lucifer and Prometheus is a work of psychological literary criticism written by R.J. Zwi Werblowsky and published in 1952. In it, Werblowsky argues that the Satan of John Milton's Paradise Lost became a disproportionately appealing character because of attributes he shares with the Greek Titan Prometheus. It has been called "most illuminating" for its historical and typological perspective on Milton's Satan as embodying both positive and negative values. The book has also been significant in pointing out the essential ambiguity of Prometheus and his dual Christ-like/Satanic nature as developed in the Christian tradition. Werblowsky uses the terminology of Carl Jung and his school in examining "mythological projections of the human psyche", though he emphasizes that he is not interested in the concept of the archetype in the strict Jungian sense. Rather, he sees the myth of figures such as Satan and Prometheus as expressing "the shortcomings … of the world as conceived by the human soul." The relation of power and civilization is explored through the interaction of the concepts of Old Testament sin and Greek hubris. In this analysis, Satan "becomes the sole power-exponent in this sublunar, post-lapsarian but pre-eschatological universe, and thus stands as the prototype of human civilizing effort." Werblowsky sets out to explore "the heroic at its limits", and makes explicit the motivating factor of World War II and its horrors in undertaking this study: The apocalyptic beast let loose has become a reality to our generation, and nobody knows what is still ahead of us. It is understandable therefore that books on the devil have been on the increase lately. … If the attempts of this school have not yet borne much fruit, it is because we fear the devil's sight more than his activity, and because of a very understandable reticence to force open our 'whited sepulchres.' Lucifer and Prometheus was one of 204 volumes in The International Library of Psychology, Philosophy and Scientific Method series published 1910–1965 and including titles from Jung, Sigmund Freud, Jean Piaget, Erich Fromm and others. It was Werblowsky's first published book. This volume was reissued in 1999 by Routledge. It includes an introduction written by Jung. (en)
