Jung

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Jung mostly critically, in connection with psychoanalysis. What he retains first is the break with Freud: by moving away from him and from the question of sexuality, Jung supposedly drifted toward Nazi sympathies. In a session devoted to Michel Clouscard, he compares this path to that of thinkers who abandon class analysis1. Elsewhere, he calls him a sympathizer of the Third Reich2. His main objection concerns the notion of the collective unconscious, which he rejects several times between 2015 and 2022. He speaks in this regard of "delusions"3 and reproaches Jung for confusing the unconscious with genetics4. Jung's name also comes up in a question on psychoanalysis during the tribute to Domenico Losurdo5. Finally, he distinguishes in passing the pronunciation of this name from that of Hume6. The passages are brief and include no sustained reading of any work by Jung.
