Durkheim once suggested that the modern man was under a dangerous situation called "anomy", which means tho old life style as well as the medieval religion has been abolished but no new substitute generated.
Or according to Erich Fromm, modern man has gained the "Freedom from" by going through Industrial Revolution, Enlightenment and Reformation, but still have not found the "Freedom to".
In Jung's term, modern man meet the problem of searching for a soul.
Thanks to Freud, we modern man now understand there is indeed a dark shadow, unconsciousness, inside every being, which is also primitive, destructive, anti-social and incestuous.
As modern man, we believe in science with the basic assumption that everything must have a material basis. The ability to reason is highly praised, even as the vital element in human nature by humanism. Hence, modern man is obliged to bring all thoughts into consciousness. That is how psychanalysis works, by making unconsciousness conscious, as a result, we become the only master of ourselves.
Jung disagreed with Freud in that solution, he told us to respect the unconsciouness and to get clues from unconsciousness to assist the consciousness. The aim of modern man's search of a soul is to regain a equilibrium between the two, or I should say, the principle of Eros and Logos.

学外语的都有种感觉,在英汉的表达之间,常常茫然失措,看英语舒服了,看汉语就不适应了,反之亦然。这本书的译者应该也是如此境遇。很多句子明显是直译过来的,语序排列、说话方式和思维过程都没有本土化,让人读着很别扭,有股看英文原版的冲动…内容还不错,讲的是心理学,精神、本能、潜意识和意识的互相作用,间接涉及...

荣格的一生都在认识真我,他曾有过以下一段话 “我就是相信,人类自我或曰人类灵魂的某一部分,不受制于时间和空间的法则”。荣格认为,人并非自己的主宰,而主要受一些不为我们所知的力量控制。荣格深信,心理现象必将遵循着一种有别于物理法则的法则。 荣格反对弗洛伊德将性欲视为唯一的心理动机,反对将无...

很显然,从佛洛伊德到荣格,能看到人类在心理学这条山脊上的现代化之路,同样的变化还出现在哲学,艺术,甚至科学上。那就是变的更自由。荣格在跳出佛洛伊德类“形而上”的理论框架,不承认每个结果都必然有一个原因,或者说,这个原因即是有,也是不重要的。重要的在于“现在”,在于未来,在于过程和背景,在于患者本人。...
