Evolutionary Jungian Psychology

چکیده
In this article I will discuss an important convergence taking place between Jungian psychology, evolutionary psychology, and neuroscience. I will assume that I do not need to define Jungian psychology or neuroscience for this audience, and many readers will be acquainted with recent developments in neurotheology, which seeks to understand the neurological bases of spiritual experiences and practices. Perhaps least familiar will be evolutionary psychology, which seeks to understand human psychology in terms of its adaptive role in our species’ evolution and by comparison with the evolution of other species’ behavior. Much of what I will say is based on the work of the Jungian analyst Anthony Stevens; for additional information, see his books in the Bibliography.
