Abstract

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.
