Carl Jung

Founder of Jungian psychology.

A pioneering Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He introduced concepts such as the collective unconscious, archetypes, and synchronicity, which have had a profound impact on psychology, philosophy, and spirituality.

Carl Jung Quotes about Evil

  • We are so full of apprehensions, fears, that we don't know exactly to what it points... a great change of our psychoglogical attitude is imminent, that is certain...because we need more understanding of human nature because ...the only real danger that exists is man himself... and we know nothing of man - his psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil.
  • Good does not become better by being exaggerated, but worse; And a small evil becomes a big one through being disregarded and repressed
  • Much of the evil in the world is due to the fact that man in general is hopelessly unconscious.
  • The unconscious is not just evil by nature, it is also the source of the highest good: not only dark but also light, not only bestial, semihuman, and demonic but superhuman, spiritual, and, in the classical sense of the word, "divine."
