Jung’s signature concept of individuation originates in his Red and Black Books material and reference to these clarifies that it has little to do with the common contemporary travesty of it as a self-improvement project managed by the conscious ego and leading to a vague ideal of “becoming oneself”; nor has Jung’s concept of “the self” been much illuminated by unresolved discussion over whether or not it should be spelt with a capital S or whether it exists in infancy. This seminar will locate the origins of Jung’s terms in their Liber Novus and Black Books contexts and trace the way in which Jung conceptualized these experiences and insights in his new language of self and individuation process.
