The Longsighted gaze of C.G. Jung

In the first part of this greatly abridged article, we saw how Jung was able to integrate the teachings of his analytic psychology in the 19trentes to allow free rein to his immediate grasp of the events of the time. The crisis of 1944 led him to give a fresh start to his work based on his analyses of alchemy. The second part of the article points out his words and deeds in relation to Nazi Germany, including his rash statements regarding democracy and “the psychology of nations”. It becomes obvious that a basic incompatibility exists between Nazi ideology, which tends to edify itself as a myth, and analytic psychology.
