E02 Jungian psychology is ripe for existentialism: Kierkegaard & Jung with Amy Cook

Описание: I had the pleasure to speak to scholar Amy Cook who’s written the bold and beautiful book 'Jung and Kierkegaard - Researching a kindred Spirit in the shadows' (Routledge 2018), comparing the psychological projects of the Danish philosopher and Christian existentialist Søren Kierkegaard and C.G Jung.

Amy helps us shed new light on Jung's psychological project by comparing it to Kierkegaards, who she describes as a shadow figure of Jung. The conversation dives into the relationship between knowledge, religious experience, and belief, Jung’s own struggle with his Christian faith and their respective renderings of individuation and the imitatio Christi. It asks the fundamental question; if Analytical psychology should be seen as working within the tradition of Christianity or can be viewed as a break with it.
