EZCURDIA, José. Modernidad y barbarie en el pensamiento de C. G. Jung. Valenciana [online]. 2009, vol.2, n.3, pp.169-195. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i3.285.

The following text reviews the diagnosis that Jung makes about a Modernity that feeds a ‘shadow’ or a terrible self-destructive power, because it does not allow the development of the contents of the colective unconscious. In this context the present article approaches notions such as symbol, archetype, ‘self ’, wisdom, Apocalypse, and also Jung’s critic to the churches and to the occidental rationalism. This notions and this critic are the conceptual frame from which Jung explains a Modernity that in its socialist, comunist and capitalist versions has given place to awful events such as the nazi’s concentration camps, the sovietic Gulag, or the atomic bomb.

Palabras llave : symbol; archetypes; colective unconscious; modernity; apocalypse.
