Carl Jung

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Psychology
  • Philosophy of Religion
  • Depth Psychology

Background:

  • The concept of the self in analytical psychology extends beyond the ego to encompass the entire psyche.
  • Jung's self concept links analytical psychology with religious doctrines of transcendence.
  • Critics have debated Jung's views, some labeling him a mystic who equated the self with God.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the complex relationship between the self and the transcendent (Divinity) in Carl Jung's work.
  • To analyze Jung's understanding of these terms, focusing on passages from Mysterium Coniunctionis.
  • To differentiate Jung's post-Enlightenment, post-secular, post-humanistic vision from other psychological and religious doctrines.

Main Methods:

  • Textual analysis of Carl Jung's writings, particularly Mysterium Coniunctionis.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Exploration of Jung's conceptualization of the self as imago Dei.
  • Examination of the paradoxical nature of the self as a coincidentia oppositorum.

    • Main Results:

    • Jung's self is a paradoxical, unified psychic totality, embodying both personal and impersonal aspects.
    • The self mirrors a Divinity that is simultaneously immanent and transcendent.
    • Jung posited a dynamic interaction between the self and the transcendence it reflects.

    Conclusions:

    • Jung's depth psychology offers a unique perspective, distinct from secular and dogmatic psychologies.
    • The self concept bridges the material and spiritual, linking earthly and heavenly realms.
    • Jung's work presents a vision of the human as a composite being, transcending modernity without medieval regression.
