CECCON, Rodrigo Pereira  e  HOLANDA, Adriano Furtado. Dialogue among Rudolf Otto, Carl Gustav Jung and Victor White. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.64, n.1, pp.63-77. ISSN 1809-5267.

In 1917 Rudolf Otto published the book The Sacred and proposing the recognition of the irrational aspect as the foundation and maintainer of religious expression by means of analogies and antonyms that the called the numinous. Later, at a conference in1937, Carl Gustav Jung uses the term numinous to clarify what he meant by religion, recognizing this as an observation on what grabs consciousness, thus extending the idea of the numinous to practice and clinical studies. Victor White, Jung's main collaborator in the field of theology, weaves a critical to Otto and Jung's position front to the understanding of religious phenomena, stating that it presents a unilateralism in recognition that only their irrational sphere supports religion. This article aims to lead to a theoretical discussion as to White's reflections on the idea of numinous, in contrast to the positions of Otto and Jung.

Palavras-chave : Rudolf Otto; Carl Gustav Jung; Victor White; religion.
