To understand what C. G. Jung means by “the masculine” is to gain access tothe ground of his entire approach to psychology, for his psychology, as heliked to admit, was his “personal confession”—the confession of a manseeking to understand human psychology in the patriarchal context of aprivate practice in a western European country in the first half of the twentiethcentury. Not even the demonstrable universality of the archetypal world thathe uncovered in this endeavor could eliminate the human standpoint of thepioneer, who remained a man telling us what his experience had been.Therefore the present collection of excerpts from his writings affords anopportunity to discover what Jung himself understood of the contribution thatgender made to his “personal equation,” a chance to look at the lens of thetelescope through which he made his famous and far-reaching observations ofthe major psychological constellations.
