Jung once described himself as a failed philosopher. Instead he chose the path of science with psychology. It is surprising then to see what Walter Kaufmann calls Jung’s “wildly emotional overreaction“ to thinkers like Heidegger and Kierkegaard. Is philosophy Jung’s Shadow? In this episode we explore what Jung said about the philosophers and why.
For this we’ll draw on letters written by Jung and look at the tension in him between what he calls his No. 1 Personality and his No. 2 Personality and then we’re going to explore whether this hatred of the philosophers might not come from a fault-line in Jung’s own psychology.
