Decoding Jung's Metaphysics by Bernardo Kastrup
The book presents a clear, systematic reading of Jung’s often-opaque metaphysical commitments, arguing that his psychology rests on the claim that psyche or consciousness is ontologically primary and that archetypes are universal, structural patterns of that underlying mind. It translates Jungian concepts—collective unconscious, individuation, symbols, and synchronicity—into precise philosophical terms, showing how mythic language encodes testable metaphysical claims rather than mere metaphor. The author situates Jung within contemporary debates in philosophy of mind and metaphysics, suggesting his ideas anticipate and complement modern forms of idealism while also pointing out tensions and places where Jung’s formulation needs clarification or revision.
