ABSTRACT
This chapter expands upon Ann Casement’s suggestion that Jung and Kierkegaard share a very similar psychological inheritance stemming from their father’s relationship to religion. Essentially this section revolves around the unresolved religious dilemma of the father/s and the influence this bears upon the thinking of Kierkegaard and Jung on religion. This chapter seeks to attest that the theories of Jung and Kierkegaard are both attempts to understand their own very individual selves, whilst also attempting to heal the spiritual crises of their fathers.
