Exploring 2. The Shadow Self and the Collective Unconscious: Exploring Jung's Philosophy

A central concept in his philosophy is the "Shadow Self," a hidden aspect of personality containing unacknowledged desires, instincts, and emotions that we often deny. Jung believed this Shadow could manifest ambivalently, influencing our behavior and relationships.

These archetypes, such as the Hero or the Mother, represent fundamental human experiences and patterns, influencing our perceptions and motivations.

These archetypes, like the Hero or the Shadow, represent fundamental human experiences and themes that read more transcend cultures and time.
