Abstract

Carl Gustav Jung’s Red Book (2009) is a literary record of a period of self-experimentation Jung carried out between 1913 and 1916 by means of a technique he would later call ‘active imagination’: Jung would allow himself to ‘drop’ into a fantasizing state and then observe the images that emerged from the unconscious. If he happened to encounter a talking figure, he would try and interact with them. One of such figures was Philemon, an intriguing reinvention of the models from both Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Goethe’s Faust. Jung’s refiguration of Philemon illustrates Jung’s engagement not only with these two works, but also with late antique magical, alchemical and Hermetic writings, as well as classical scholarship dedicated to them. Even though it is widely recognized that Philemon played a central role in Jung’s psychological formulations after his break from Freud in 1912, this figure seems to have received no sustained attention in the scholarship on the reception of Greco-Roman antiquity in depth psychology. This article offers an investigation of how Jung’s refiguration of Philemon relates both to Jung’s psychological research prior to his first encounter with this character and to the path it followed after this encounter took place with regard to the archetype of the ‘wise old man’.

Abstract Image

Senioris visio:荣格对腓利门的重构
卡尔-古斯塔夫-荣格的《红书》(2009 年)以文学形式记录了荣格在 1913 年至 1916 年间通过一种他后来称之为 "积极想象 "的技术进行的自我实验:荣格会让自己 "坠入 "幻想状态,然后观察从无意识中出现的图像。如果碰巧遇到一个会说话的人物,他就会尝试与之互动。菲利蒙就是其中之一,他对奥维德的《变形记》和歌德的《浮士德》中的人物进行了有趣的再创造。荣格对菲利蒙的重新塑造表明,荣格不仅参与了这两部作品的研究,还参与了晚期古代魔法、炼金术和赫尔墨斯学著作的研究,以及专门研究这些著作的古典学术研究。尽管人们普遍认为腓利门在荣格于 1912 年与弗洛伊德决裂后的心理学理论中扮演了核心角色,但在深度心理学对希腊罗马古代文学的接受研究中,这个人物似乎并没有得到持续的关注。本文探讨了荣格对菲利蒙的重新塑造是如何与荣格在首次接触这个人物之前的心理学研究以及接触之后荣格在 "智慧老人 "原型方面的研究路径相关联的。
