| Abstract: |
The article titled "Jung the Antisemite" explores the evidence of Carl Jung's antisemitism throughout his life. The author presents compelling evidence from Jung's publications, lectures, correspondence, and conversations that demonstrate his prejudice against Jews. The article also discusses the historical and current context of antisemitism, distinguishing between different forms of it. It suggests that Jung's antisemitism may have stemmed from his rejection of Christianity and his fascination with a pagan past. The text highlights Jung's collaboration with antisemitism, including implementing a quota on Jewish members in the Zurich institute, expressing support for the National Socialists, and holding racist beliefs about Jews. The author questions whether Jung's contributions to analytical psychology can be meaningful in addressing antisemitism. [Extracted from the article] |
