ABSTRACT

Showing a complete lack of psychological conscience, Jungians after Jung merely acted out Jung’s psychology in various ways. The fact, however, is that psychology is decidedly special. Other than in the sciences, which have a separate theory of science or epistemology outside themselves that at least logically precedes them, the nature of psychology is such that, like life, there is no possibility of going back before or outside of it. Those questions about psychology and the soul therefore always, and each time anew, ought to accompany every particular psychological investigation or interpretation, because the question about soul and psychology is an ongoing question inherent in psychology itself. There is another reason why the answer to the question of what the soul is cannot be placed at the beginning of psychology.
