Abstract

In part 1 of this essay we will outline the historical context of jung's psychology. It will be evident from the start that jung's thought was both rational and irrational and that he used the former quality to study the latter. In part 2 I argue that the Jungian community should come together in order to focus their mind on the irrational. They should make it their specific area of psychology, and they should articulate a science of the irrational. This is important because (as Jungians know) the irrational is part of psychic life but is also often repressed and denied. Douglas rightly touches upon a multitude of influences on jung. She starts off by saying that jung himself referred to two aspects of his psyche, one that is empirical, rational, practical and so on, and another that is romantic and "at home with the unconscious, the mysterious, and the hidden whether in hermetic science and religion, in the occult, or in fantasies and dreams."4 Already a key Jungian belief about the psyche is implied here.
