ABSTRACT

The first half of Jung's career overlaps with a revolution in anthropology. This revolution takes different forms in different countries. Germany was the stronghold of anti-evolutionism, not only diffusionist ethnology but also Lamarckian physical anthropology. American anthropology saw itself as an empirical science: as such, it was not altogether impressed with French sociological theory. In developing sociological theories, it never wholly turned its back on diffusionism. In Britain and America, ethnology took different forms, perhaps reflecting their respective French and German influences. In Britain, it came to be called social anthropology, in America, cultural anthropology. Anthropology and psychology are both children of Enlightenment philosophy and develop with affinities to British empiricist philosophy with its central concerns in epistemology – how we know things. The Jungian moment in American anthropology ended in effect with the Second World War – Radin always apart.
