Abstract

To study the work and biography of Carl Gustav Jung is to realize how inspiring nature was to the development of his scientific and personal worldview. Therefore this paper examines the relevance of nature to the formulation of analytical psychology theories. It searches through 34 volumes of Jung’s complete work the quotations in which the term “nature” is used to support concepts of his theory. The 137 paragraphs that were found demonstrate the author conceived psychic functioning was analogous to the functioning of all natural systems.
