Escritos sobre espiritualidad y transcendencia (Estructuras y procesos. Psicología)

by C.G. Jung

Em sua Psicologia Analítica, Jung procura apresentar uma "compreensão da psique como espaço de experiência do numinoso, permitindo novos modos de ver fenômenos e experiências religiosas que até aquele momento não haviam sido tratados na psicologia da religião", como escreve Brigitte Dorst. A presente seleção de textos feita por ela para esta obra e a extensa introdução evidenciam a importância da espiritualidade na Psicologia Analítica e mostram como é grande o leque dos temas espirituais e das tradições religiosas com que Jung se ocupou.

About the author

Carl 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.

Eine sehr interessante Zusammenstellung von Beiträgen Jungs zu dem, was wir heute als „Spiritualität“ bezeichnen, auch wenn Jung hier eher von „Religiosität“ sprechen würde. Eine wichtige Schlussfolgerung richtet sich gegen die von der Aufklärung vertretene Meinung, dass Religion eine vom Verstand geschaffene Illusionsmaschine sei. Jung widerspricht dem und führt aus, dass Religion und Religiosität eben aus der menschlichen Tiefe entspringen.

Enfim, terminei a leitura desse livro. Super indico a quem gosta de estudar espiritualidades não-cristãs, mas também nossa tóxica relação com o cristianismo. É importante ter algum conhecimento anterior sobre os conceitos de consciente e inconsciente pra entender por que Jung foi tão criticado (e ainda é). No mais, um bom leitor vai poder compreender melhor a visão de Jung sobre religião, consciência e principalmente sobre inconsciente coletivo. Achei maravilhoso, mas vale ler cada palavra tendo em mente que o autor é de origem europeia.

spirituelle erkenntnisse dienen der individuellen psychologie, um in den alltag integriert zu werden
