Anyone find merit in the work and ideas of carl jung?

I find his writing on the shadow, individuation and the collective unconsciousness pertinent and helpful

i think we can all look inside and realise our fulfilment comes from ourselves, wonder if anyone else knows anything?

Haven’t had the chance to really dive in but it seems interesting!

Never rly dove that deep into his works i eventually will but archetypes somenbullshyt

He's a pioneer, for better or worse.

JBP idolises him so I hate him

eh thats idiotic tbh you should judge him based of his work

Yeah, very pertinent in Star Wars

Yeah surely if you dislike JBP, its a motive to investigate Nietszche, Jung and Dostoyevsky and cut him out of it

Eh idk. I'm aware nome of his ideas are scientifically verified, anyone saying its factual shouldn't be taken seriously

But I find it kind of helps me look inwards myself, like objectively there's no scientific basis for these ideas, however thinking about them kinda shines a light on issues in my life which very much are recognised as formative

You should Carl your girl to Jung these nuts

Idk, I think I'd apply it to art before myself. Haven't heard a lot of interesting applications of it outside of art tbf.

Haven't had one for a month now, showed her the door

Carl Jung is an absolute legend

The Last Jedi focused on it strong I feel like

I think it's interesting for cultural and artistic a***ysis (as said elsewhere in the thread), but I don't think much of his psychoanalysis stuff (much like the wider field itself) holds a ton of value. That said I do think there's some interesting stuff in his work to maybe pick at for interesting conversations if anything. A lot of his ideas are really just watered down secular versions of concepts you find in eastern & vedic traditions though.

Synchronicity

Freud >>>

Some believe that quantum physics will eventually validate some of Jung's ideas.

I love Persona 2

Freud is the OG but Jung took his concepts and ran with them. Took them to another level.

wish I knew more, any books to start with?

Here's a concept: go outside and stop reading these dumbass books

No
