Inclusion and Diversity in the feminine image of Sophia
Keywords:
Sophia, Narcissus, Good, Evil, archetypal imageAbstract
This paper proposes an interpretation of the archetypal image of Sophia as a symbol of inclusion and tolerance. It is based on the understanding of C. G. Jung regarding the Book of Job. Sophia is developed as an archetypal power that is just the opposite of the Narcissus dynamic, so usual in our present days. The author reflects about the definition of good and evil, ideas that inevitably emerge when the topic is related to “the inclusion”.
