German Jungian psychologist who developed a radical critique of mainstream analytical psychology — arguing that Jungian psychology must move beyond its therapeutic/personal orientation toward a psychology of the soul as objective, dialectical process — whose work represents the most philosophically sophisticated development of analytical psychology.
Argues that the soul is not a subjective experience but an objective logic — 'the soul's logical life' — and that Jungian psychology's tendency to locate the unconscious inside the individual is a fundamental error: the collective unconscious is not in us, we are in it, and psychology must become the discipline that thinks the soul's own movements.
