Carl Jung

Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist who founded analytical psychology. He is known for the concepts of archetype, collective unconscious, anima and animus, shadow and synchronicity. Issue.15 itself introduces him as Swiss. The years and the other card facts of this entry come from outside the editions and are marked for verification.

Two mentions are passing. Issue.6 names him in the caption of an image placed in its passage about Zygmunt Bauman: "Three other wise men who you may see smoking a pipe one day". In Issue.12, in the gallery that shows how the cover image was made, the author says he never noticed the bee in the photograph until he started editing it, and adds that Jung would call this synchronicity.

The other three are quotation boxes. Issue.14, after stating what the law of attraction suggests in philosophy, says what Carl Jung would say in psychology and shows a box about one-sidedness as a sign of a lack of cultural refinement; the edition gives no source for it. Issue.15 explains anima and animus as two archetypes he proposed, the feminine aspect present in the male psyche and the masculine aspect present in the female psyche, not based on biological sex. Issue.16 places a credited quotation from New Paths in Psychology in its reading of Tony Soprano: "the wildest and most moving dramas are played not in the theatre but in the hearts of ordinary men and women". The edition follows it with the shadowy side of the character that James Gandolfini had to grasp.
