Abstract
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) had a rational and irrational side. The rational side of Jung was scientifically orientated. It was an empirical side that studied psychic contents as psychological facts. Meanwhile the irrational side of Jung lapped up and experienced esoteric and numinous psychological phenomena. The scientific Jung strove to organize the irrational contents of the psyche; as the rational side of the psyche endeavors to establish order on the irrational side. Hence he came up with orientating ideas such as archetypes and the collective unconscious. These two sides to Jung have created confusion over whether Jung was scientifically or artistically orientated. As we will see this question is central to this essay.
In this essay the focus is not on Jung but on contemporary key post-jungian thinkers. We will therefore firstly introduce the thinkers and then in part 1 we will expand on the themes set out in this introduction.
