«Guru» is Sheldon B. Kopp's essay on the figure of spiritual teachers, published by Gedisa in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Kopp, a psychotherapist, traces the figure of the spiritual guide: Paleolithic shamans, tribal priests, and modern psychoanalysts. He draws on stories of shamans, desert monks, Hasidic rabbis, and Zen masters to analyze how these figures aid self-knowledge and offers hypotheses about their future in the West.
It belongs to the Serie Incógnita collection. The cover reproduces a bas-relief from the Viatal Deul temple (India, 9th century) depicting Shiva in a yoga posture.
For readers interested in philosophy, psychology, and the role of spiritual traditions in Western culture.
Sheldon Bernard Kopp was a psychotherapist and author. Born in New York City, he worked in Washington, D.C. for 35 years and lived in Silver Spring, Maryland.
