Jung and Science

The author examines a single question from a variety of angles : how is it that a thinker of Jung’s stature has become one of the New Age prophets, in spite of himself ? A possible source of this misunderstanding could be the structural ambiguity of the relationship between Jung’s thinking and quantum physics, taking synchronicity as an example. The methodological difficulties of the study of the ismorphism between the psychic world and the quantum one will thus be discussed. The above mentioned source of misunderstanding is also, however, a source of rebirth. On the basis of the long-standing quarrel between the ternary and quaternary, the author shows how the eminently modernistic thought of Jung and Pauli has contributed to a renewal of our vision of Nature, the foundation for a transdisciplinary approach to a multidimensional reality, structured on a multitude of levels.
