Document Details : Title: The Coincidence of Opposites Subtitle: C.G. Jung's Reception of Nicholas of Cusa Author(s): HENDERSON, David Journal: Studies in Spirituality Volume: 20 Date: 2010 Pages: 101-113 DOI: 10.2143/SIS.20.0.2061145 Abstract : The focus of this essay is on C.G. Jung’s reception and appropriation of Cusa’s concept of the coincidence of opposites. The coincidence of opposites is a key to understanding Jung’s psychology. Jung’s use of Cusa is a case study in how he adopts and subverts historical resources to build his own theory. The paper is written from the perspective of Jungian studies and is not a comparison of the use of the concept by the two writers. |
