Abstract

Jung lived in a period of remarkable scientific advances in biology, including the theories of evolution and natural selection, the discovery of the first hominid fossils, and the rise of scientific anthropology. His research evolved in dialogue with the discoveries considered most plausible by science, leading to a constant reformulation and refinement of concepts. We argue that the mature form of his psychology can be understood as an attempt to integrate the major scientific breakthroughs of his time, while, ahead of his era, providing theoretical foundations for findings that contemporary neuroscience is only beginning to confirm.
