ABSTRACT

Archetypes, instincts, and intuition are the content, structures, and dynamics of C. G. Jung's collective unconscious. In this remote latency of consciousness, in the area of the "springs" of intuition, Jung employed the word Anschauung next to intuition. In Jung's psychology, God and noumenon become archetypes, and the way to reach them remains intuition, Anschauung. The notions of "dominants", primordial images, and archetypes are close. Both the terms "primordial images" and "dominants" preceded "archetypes" and would reappear in Jung's work, even after the use of "archetype", notably in Jung's works on alchemy. Jung used the term Anschauung for intuition in his psychology of the unconscious next to the concept of archetype. In 1917, Jung explains that, while progressing to consciousness, humankind simultaneously enriched the unconscious: The collective unconscious is the sediment of all the experience of the universe of all time, and is also an image of the universe that has been in process of formation for untold ages.
