Jung and the Individuation

Individuation. A Study of the Depth-Psychology of Jung

Though it is not stated, we may assume that Dr. Goldbrunner is a theologian, for his critical estimation covers the relation of Jung's concepts to religion, anthropology, ethics, education, and the "cure of souls," and he is evidently most at home in the sphere of religion. It may be noted here that there is a curious naivete when the subject of psychotherapy is broached, which no doubt derives...

Jung and the Kabbalah.

It is argued that as great as Jung's acknowledged affinity is to the Kabbalah, his unacknowledged relationship was even greater. Jung has been accused of being a contemporary Gnostic; however, the interpretations Jung placed on Gnosticism and the texts Jung referred to on alchemy were...

The Abhyankar-jung Theorem

We show that every quasi-ordinary Weierstrass polynomial P (Z) = Z + a1(X)Z d−1 + · · ·+ ad(X) ∈ K[[X]][Z], X = (X1, . . . , Xn), over an algebraically closed field of characterisic zero K, such that a1 = 0, is ν-quasi-ordinary. That means that if the discriminant ∆P ∈ K[[X]] is equal to a monomial times a unit then the ideal (a i (X))i=2,...,d is monomial and generated by one of a i (X). We us...

The Individuation of Tropes

A trope is a particular property: the redness of a rose, the roundness of the moon. It is generally supposed that tropes are individuated by primitive quantity: this redness, that roundness. I argue that the trope theorist is far better served by individuating tropes by spatiotemporal relation: here redness, there roundness. In short, tropes are not this-suches but here-suches. I generally favo...
