Publication information:
Abstract
This essay will attempt to pay attention to the contextual trace of his interest in Confucianism, especially I Ching in Jung’s biographical materials and correspondences. It will try to understand the following questions. What is Jung’s later concern for the further involvement with spiritual issues in the development of his analytical psychology? How is Confucianism playing a key role for the development of his analytical psychology? How is it related to his critical concern of Evil in Christianity? They seem to be separate questions but actually interrelated or intertwined in his analytical psychology.
