LIMA, Andrea de Alvarenga and DIOGO, Jean Carlo Kurpel. Considerations on the kinship of Jung and phenomenology. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.1, pp.13-20. ISSN 1809-6867.
Considering Jungs position in the national academic context, the present paper presents an epistemological analysis of the relationship between Jung and Phenomenology. First, the historical development of the concept of Phenomenology was revised, in order to outline the meaning in which Husserl, founder of Phenomenology as a philosophical movement, applies the term. After that, it tries to understand in Jungs work how he used the term and how he personally related to the phenomenological movement. In conclusion, it suggests that the resemblance between Jung and Husserls Phenomenology is established not in terms of philosophical radicals but from a similar methodological attitude.
