Det ubevidste i den analytiske psykologi

Abstract

After a brief reference to some basic notions concerning C.G. Jungs perception of the structure of the unconscious psyche in the light of Sigmund Freud the article deals with some aspects of Jungs archetype model and his theory of the objective psyche. It emphasizes how significant the phenomena of synchronicity was for his explanation of the concept of archetype and his detection of the relativity of time, space and causality in the collective unconscious. Furthermore the article refers to the function of the archetypes as the fundamental dynamics behind great social and cultural changes. Finally Jungs contribution to the old philosophic discussion about the relationship between spirit and matter as two aspects of the same thing (the unus mundus archetype) is
outlined.
