About the author
C.G. Jung
1,875 books11.5k followersCarl Gustav Jung (/jʊŋ/; German: [ˈkarl ˈɡʊstaf jʊŋ]), often referred to as C. G. Jung, was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion; archetypes, and the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. He was a prolific writer, many of whose works were not published until after his death.
The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development.
Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, and synchronicity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, has been developed from Jung's theory of psychological types.
Though he was a practising clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas such as Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. Jung's interest in philosophy and the occult led many to view him as a mystic, although his ambition was to be seen as a man of science. His influence on popular psychology, the "psychologization of religion", spirituality and the New Age movement has been immense.

Pânã acum, rațiunea a eșuat jalnic și tocmai ceea ce toți doreau sã evite se produce în înspăimântătoare progresie. Impresionantele succese în domeniul utilului au fost plătite scump și nimeni nu știe dacã omul va putea evita prãpastia spre care se rostogolește vertiginos. După primul război mondial s-a sperat în rațiunea umană. Acum, dupã cel de al doilea se sperã din nou. Dar deja omul este fascinat de posibilitățile fisurii uraniului și-și promite o epocã de aur - cea mai bunã garanție cã grozăviile pustiirii cresc nemăsurat. Și cine este autorul tuturor acestor lucruri? Tocmai spiritul uman considerat inofensiv, dotat, inventiv, care din păcate nu este conștient de demonia sa. Mai mult, acest spirit face totul pentru a nu fi silit sã se privească în fațã, fiecare ajutându-l dupã puteri în aceasta privințã. Mai bine războaie, de care este vinovat întotdeauna celălalt; și nimeni nu vede cã toatã lumea este posedatã de dorința de a face ceea ce evitã și-i provoacã fricã.
Când vom înceta oare sã sã ne limitãm la presupoziția cã omul este barbar și vom cãuta cu toatã seriozitatea mijloacele și cãile de a-l exorciza, de a-l smulge posedãrii și inconștienței sale, cãutare care sã se transforme în cea mai importantã sarcinã culturalã?
