ABSTRACT

A pattern of behaviour is an act, the origin of which is an archetype. C. G. Jung never denied, albeit not altogether clearly, that archetypes can be instincts and instincts archetypes. The sexual aspect of the libido was just one, and not the single or even the main, theoretical issue which divided Jung and S. Freud in the 1910s. Henri Bergson's memory of a biological past corresponds to Jung's inheritance of the patterns of behaviour, not through intuition, but through instinct, even though it is hardly possible to distinguish between instinct, intuition, and archetype in the unconscious. Intuition, or, rather, to use Freud's formulation, "revelation, intuition, or divination", thus represented the opposite of what Freud expected for the future of psychoanalysis. What was initially Einfuhlung, or empathy in its strongest sense, would became Anschauung, another form of intuition, which, rather than connecting a mere potential consciousness, an under-consciousness, to the collective unconscious, would link a differentiated consciousness to archetypes.
