Exploring a Jungian Perspective on Evil

In moments of disagreement with my partner, I hear your voice, reminding me to reflect on my own actions. Chapter eight of a book explores a Jungian perspective on evil, emphasizing that we all suffer from traumatic experiences. The author examines the issue of evil from a therapeutic standpoint, questioning its origins and defining it within cultural context. Evil raises the question of our accountability and the distinction between our unconscious drives and moral responsibility. Albert Camus reminds us that while we can't solve the problem of evil, we can strive to prevent its perpetuation and acknowledge our capacity for it. It's important to recognize this capacity within ourselves to avoid unconscious harm to others.
