ABSTRACT
In his memoirs, Jung discusses a conversation he had with Freud during their first face-to-face meeting in Vienna in March of 1907. It had to do, on the one hand, with what Jung regarded as Freud’s antipathy toward the spirit. In Jung’s estimation, Freud abhorred “virtually everything that philosophy and religion . . . had learned about the psyche.”3 Sexuality, on the other hand, Jung felt, was privileged
by Freud to such an extent that in his theory all other aspects of psychic life were to be viewed in the light of its vicissitudes.
