ABSTRACT
This book is an attempt to understand and articulate the psychological insights of C. G. Jung in the light of existential phenomenology. It is an attempt to see through Jung's writings to the phenomena he saw, to use a different metaphor, to hear through his words to what he was trying to say, and to express this in a phenomenologically accurate way. A complementary aim is to offer existential phenomenological psychology something of the psychological depth and richness that Jung can provide. Primarily this means making Jung's insights phenomenologically accessible, so that some of the themes of existential phenomenology can be fleshed out psychologically. The purpose is to rearticulate Jung's work in phenomenological terms, the main task in doing so is to undercut the Cartesian subject object split in which much of that work has been conceived. Undercutting the Cartesian split will neutralise Jung's temptation to endorse the natural scientific vision of reality.
