Abstract

|
|
|
Carl Gustav Jung wrote a famous [Answer to Job] at his age of 77, but he was really indifferent to Job’s unhappiness. Jung’s concern was not Job, but Yahwe, Satan, Sophia, and Maria. His attitude to Job was non-empathic, and his attitude to Yahwe was hostile, condemned. It seems to me that Jung was very upset and irritable or nervous when he wrote that writings. In my point of view, Jung could’nt overcome his own Oedipus complex until he reached to age 77. Throughout the study of [Answer to Job] and [Book of Job], I have a conclusion as followings : Jung had a Oedipus complex and he failed its resolution all through the his life. Jung had four symbolic fathers, they were his biological father, Freud, God and Pope. Jung scared symbolic fathers, but had a murderous wish. Jung did’nt answer to Job, really but to Freud who already died. Everyone shall be understood this meaning if you replace a word Job to Jung, a word Yahwe to Freud in the text when you read [Answer to Job]. Although Jung was seemingly identified to Job, but he was only identified to Job’s position. Hence he become to victim as Job, Freud become a persecutor as Yahwe. At that time Jung disclosed his defensive projective identification toward Freud and God. Jung devaluated Jewish God Yahwe, and distorted to Jewish master Freud. It seems to me that Jung was never free from Freud, and this opinion can be revealed by thourough study of [Answer to Job]. I confirm that Jung’s individuation process was not so successful as we know, and accidentally he give us a clue by means of his own writings.
