Part 2 – Aion: Researches into the Phenomenology of the Self Aion: Researches into the Phenomenology of the Self, part 2 of volume 9 in
The Collected Works, was originally published in German (1951), and is a major work of Jung's later years. Its central theme is the symbolic representation of the psychic totality through the concept of the
Self, whose traditional historical equivalent is the figure of
Christ. Jung demonstrates his thesis by an investigation of the Christian
fish symbol, and of
Gnostic and
alchemical symbolism. He regards these as phenomena of
cultural assimilation. Chapters on the
ego, the
shadow, and the
anima and animus, provide a valuable summary of these elementary concepts in
Jungian psychology. Much in this volume is concerned with the rise of
Christianity and with the figure of Christ. Jung explores how Christianity came into being when it did, the importance of the figure of Christ, and the identification of that figure with the
archetype of the Self. The book also discusses the problem of opposites, particularly good and evil.''''
