Abstract

LIMA, Rafael Reis de. Dialogue between traditional indigenous knowledge and analitical psychology: a sketch for a "re-enchantment" of the world. Junguiana [online]. 2022, vol.40, n.1, pp. 125-138. ISSN 2595-1297.

This work work aims to establish a dialogue between the indigenous worldview and analytical psychology to understand how this interlocution can contribute to "re-enchant" the world. The study assumes that despite the evident material and technological progress, the structures of the western model based unilaterally on reason prove to be bankrupt and sterile in responding to the demands of contemporary man. To achieve the proposed objective and within the panorama of exploratory research, a bibliographic review was used to enable further deepening. As a result, it presents the approach of analytical psychology to two aspects of the indigenous cosmovision: the notion of Good Living in an integrative look at the soul of the world and the symbolic experience present in myths, rites, and dreams. ■

Keywords : indigenous knowledge; analytical psychology; disenchantment of the world; good living; symbolic experience.
