Carl Jung: Life-Changing Quotes . . . Carl Gustav Jung - Swiss psychiatrist, psychologist, scientist, painter. He was one of the founders of depth psychology, on the basis of which he created his own concepts, understood as analytical psychology (which is a partial critique of psychoanalysis). He introduced the concepts of complex, introversion and extroversion, collective unconsciousness, synchronicity, and archetype, which play an important and controversial role in cultural sciences and neurological research, as well as in quantum physics. Jung's second area of research was philosophical studies, because it was they that most clearly directed the process of formulating the general outlines of his concept. On the one hand, we are talking about German idealism and the philosophy of German Romanticism, on the other - about the philosophy of ancient Greece (including Platonism, but also later Neoplatonism) and the beginnings of Christian thought (in its fundamental trend - the Church Fathers, and above all in the heretical trend - Gnostic philosophy). Only in the perspective of understanding the philosophical origins of Jung's thought can his overall vision of the world and man be legible, and only in this perspective can subsequent theoretical propositions become comprehensible: synchronicity, anticipation, Jung's emanational vision of the world and God, the concept of man "becoming" - striving towards Fullness, and understanding the nature of evil.
