The Image of Soul in Post-Jungian Thought: Giegerich, Deleuze, and Beyond

Sereptie's recent blog piece: https://splitinfinities.substack.com/p/crossing-the-line-the-repeater-books

In this episode of LEPHT HAND, Sereptie is joined by Christian McMillan from the University of Essex to explore Wolfgang Giegerich’s provocative essay Why Jung?. Together, they investigate the image of soul as a conceptual battleground in post-Jungian thought, where Giegerich’s Hegelian reading of Jung meets Deleuze’s philosophy of individuation. Their dialogue probes whether Jung’s work ultimately resists or reinforces metaphysical closure, especially through his engagements with myth, quantum physics, and active imagination. From the tension between unity and multiplicity to the porous borders of psyche and world, this episode maps a vital terrain where psychology and philosophy entangle.
