I've never been interested in philosophy, but some of Jung's ideas seem useful in helping people understand pictures and so forth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was in Jungian analysis for 20 years, 1976-96.
My favorite books are psychology, self-help, and I'm fascinated by Jung, by dream work.
I'm attracted to the things that people throw away - the shadow goods, in Jungian terms.
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
The Jungian view of drama would be that it affects all of our imaginations and somehow taps into our hidden, ancient, primordial memories.
It was Jung who first said to explain the symbol as if talking to a man from mars who knew nothing about our life on earth.
An armchair Jungian would say the whole thing is about my own ongoing spiritual search. My interior life has always been one of trying to find a spiritual link, maybe because I'm from a family of separate religious philosophies: Protestant and Catholic.
Philosophy is for the few.
Philosophy likes to keen common sense on the run.
I tend to think in images and feelings rather than non-abstract concepts.
