Face to Face with Carl Jung: ‘Man Cannot Stand a Meaningless Life’ (1959)

Thank you for post­ing this—very inter­est­ing.

Fas­ci­nat­ing inter­view with a great man and one of my heros cov­er­ing three P’s per­son­al, polit­i­cal and psy­cho­log­i­cal. He also has an amaz­ing mas­tery of the Eng­lish lan­guage and is an inspi­ra­tion!

Thanks for a fas­ci­nat­ing insight into one of the great minds of his time.

This is so worth watch­ing, start to fin­ish.
Espe­cial­ly the last part–he con­firms my beliefs. I’m find­ing this a joy­ful time of life–in my ear­ly 70’s.

This inter­view with Carl-Gus­tav JUNG has been hid­den for too long ;
The fact is that JUNG’s been the deep­est Human Mind the­o­ri­cian dur­ing the whole XXth cen­tu­ry , and this includes crooks such as Freud of course .
Only Erich FROMM or Wil­helm REICH (and they were all Ger­mans , but this will be anoth­er point of dis­cus­sion ) could be com­pared to the great Swiss Psy­choanal­ist .

hav­ing known about this famous Face to Face for years, it has been a plea­sure to final­ly watch it here, aged 55, which is almost as long as Jung has been phys­i­cal­ly dead: the psy­che exists in that it per­sists.

” the only real dan­ger that exists is man him­self, and we are piti­ful­ly unaware of it; we know noth­ing of man, far too lit­tle; his psy­che should be stud­ied, because we are the ori­gin of all com­ing evil. ”

ain’t that the truth? Enjoy­ing this site, thanks to Open Cul­ture.

But Psy­chol­o­gy is also an inven­tion of man so man-made study­ing man-kind????
Is this also a curi­ousi­ty?
