He says men can argue in a very womanish way too, when they are anima possessed and have thus been transformed into the animus of their own anima. With them, question becomes one of personal vanity and touchiness, as if they were females. With women, it is a question of power, whether of truth or justice or some other ism. And so so you're taking the form of the male argument, but with, like, all your borrowing is the absoluteness of the conclusions, exactly. I think that's right on. He doesn't get a lot of flack because his intentions here are to integrate both these aspects in both men and women.
David and Tamler confront their shadows and dive into Carl Jung’s theory of the collective unconscious. What are the central differences between Jung and Freud? What did Jung mean by archetypes and what’s his evidence for their centrality in the human psyche? How can we integrate elements of our unconscious and avoid projecting them onto the world? Can Jung’s ideas tell us anything about culture wars and relationships?
