Archetypes EXPLAINED: Introduction to Jung

#nietzsche #philosophypodcast #thenietzschepodcast #history #philosophy #historyofphilosophy

Carl Gustave Jung was a student of Freud, but broke from his mentor in a dramatic way. Jung acquired the reputation of being a mystic, and put forward ideas that pushed the boundaries of psychoanalysis. This is a crash course in Jung’s most important ideas: projection, archetypes, and the collective unconscious. In this episode, we go in-depth on the major archetypes that Jung describes. These are subpersonalities that exist in every human unconsciousness, which will manifest insensibly in one’s desires, and find themselves projected by the subject into the external world.

The Ego and the Super-ego walk into a bar. The bartender says "I'm going to need to see some Id."

"Carl Gustave Jung was a student of Freud, " * What is often overlooked is Jung was a 'student' of Nietzsche for longer than Freud, especially after their break. Also the influence bleeds from the page itself - As Jung said you read more about the therapist, reading their books, than you learn of their therapies.

Not gonna lie, i will need to listen to this on repeat at least 3x.

This is the best intro to Jung that I’ve ever heard. I will be sure to tune into more of your lectures. Thanks!

All thinkers (including scientists) will always argue with one another in trying to intellectually understand how everything turns, as long as they shove intuition to the role of a caboose instead of the locomotive.
Once we intuitively understand the workings of "IT ALL, " we stop talking about it because it's impossible to intellectualize such a knowing. It's like writing hundreds of dissertations on how a rose smells without ever smelling it.
And when we finally smell it, we glide on the "unbearable lightness of being, " as Kundera would so beautifully phrase it; without the battle and the splitting headache. Thank you for your fantastically disarming way of exploring all the philosophical insides.

Man, I’ve been soaking up every video I can find about Jung these past 2 months. That quote about the shadow and the masses absolutely gave me chills. What an exhilarating frame of mind to approach humanity

[nahkapaska]

Dude, thanks for all the podcasts. I’d say your stuff are among the best content on youtube currently. I usually dont comment on anything, but i just wanted to let you know that what you are doing is valuable and meaningful. Keep it up man, you are an inspiration! Lots of love from Finland! ❤

"Not everybody has virtues, but everybody has the low instincts, the basic primitive caveman suggestibility, the suspicions and vicious traits of the savage." - Jung

In every political system, people vote for their "shadow". This is not unique to a particular people either. The masses want to express this side as a means to devolve any kind of responsibility because the masses are simply beyond reason or principles and have always been trained to have their disgusts stimulated while being blind to it. Being in such an unconscious state makes them blind to their shadows. This is also why the masses are so clueless, even when political/social problems are obvious. This is also why we see so many who are supposedly “anti establishment” later promote the establishment. They merely hated who was in power at the time, but in their hearts they craved to wield that power. So they were never anti establishment, they wanted to be the establishment. Seeking political power (authority) in order to solve problems makes the common man detestable.

Yo. Are you going into full on Jung like you did Nietchze?!!!!😊 Either way. You are the best man!!!!

Jung is much more of a dangerously sharp thinker than it feels like you give him credit for

As a reader of DH Lawrence many people know of his Lady Chatterleys Lover, but in my opinion Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious & Fantasia of the Unconscious are His Best Writings. As in the case of Herman Hesse the Most Important Book of His is Magister Ludi or The Glass Bead Game. Jack London is known for Call of the Wild but his Best Book was The Star Rover . As Rudyard Kipling was made famous for Jungle Books and all the other tales he wrote, The Mark of the Beast and other Horror Tales. C G Jung is known for many things but The Undiscovered Self and The Dilemma of the Individual in Modern Society has always been my Favorite. I have a High School education but along with other jobs I was a Respiratory Therapist from 1972-1986 than I worked for the LADWP as an Electrical Station Operator for 30 years were I spent 17 years in the Owen’s Valley by Bishop California. Retired in 2016 and moved to Carson City Nv. Thank you for taking the time to read my writings. God Bless

I’ve always had the desire to get into Jung’s work. I’ve read a few texts by him but for some reason cannot get behind most of his ideas no matter how much I want to. I love Nietzsche and love your commentary on him. Best on youtube for sure! Looking forward to this one. Thanks for all the great work you do!

"Your soul doesn't need your wisdom. It needs your wrecklessness" - Carl Jung

Well done.
I'm a hermit. After watching the turkeys in this valley for a few decades, I came up with the theory that memory can be inherited. I then saw researchers who studied ravens show that the grandchildren of the original tested were afraid of the masks by which their grandparents were scared. A researcher in NYC noticed the grandchildren of mice, whose grandparents were shock while eating almonds were afraid to eat almonds. The grandchildren of people who were starving during WW2 had strange metabolisms. Dr. Finkel from the museum in London saw evidence that the fear of ghosts could be inherited. Finally, Jung saw a great deal of MY theory. lol (isn't an instinct a type of inherited memory?)
This is only a small part of my life long study of our brains. I believe that we are obsessed with problem solving because our weak bodied ancestors had to problem solve to eat every day. Those who didn't problem solve died. Only those who were obsessed lived. It all ties to food. People unknowingly attack a black friday sale as those it were a herd of deer.
We are so obsessed with problem solving that everything you own or do relates to it. You watch movies to see how others problem solve. You watch or play sports or any game because it is a problem. You even solve problems when you die with life insurance.
Without knowing you, I can tell you that in every flood, famine, plague, illness, disease, etc. not a single one of your direct ancestors died as children. Had they, you would not have been born. I think it is amazing to be alive.

I'm very greatful to have found your channel, thanks for sharing!

[damin]

wow Jung is what got me into Nietzsche! Excited for this episode!

[adamc]

Holy shit, the king has started his Jung pilgrimage!

So pumped for this, you are the best!

[bigdaddydrip]

Finally! Im so stoked for this season. Im currently reading The Portable Jung.

[mthunzidhlamini]

May we please do a text revision and study of Erich Neumann's 'History and Origin of the Unconscious' - its definately worth the hype. Or Von Franz' 'Way of Individuation'. I love Jung; but Jungians can be just as fascinating.

Finally I’ve been waiting for this one for ages.
