James Hillman and Phenomenology: the poetic basis of psyche
Keywords:
Archetypal Psychology, Phenomenology, Epistemology, Poiesis, James HillmanAbstract
The main objective of this article is to reflect and point to the possible epistemological and ontological horizons of James Hillman’s archetypal psychology by approaching it to a possible relationship with phenomenology. In order to fulfill this intention, it is necessary to delimit two starting points, namely: The central motto of archetypal psychology of “stick to the image” and its possible relationship with the phenomenological notion of “back to things themselves”; The postulate of a mytho-poetic basis for the human psyche and the possible approach to the notion of poiesis as presented in Heidegger’s phenomenology. Archetypal psychology emerges in a new “post-Jungian” context that seeks to replace an interpretive, univocal and metaphysical attitude with a phenomenological attitude towards images of the soul. The mytho-poetic basis and “stick to the image”, central notions in his psychology, constitute the basis of this possible phenomenological attitude in his thinking.
