Listening to the Ancestors—Listening to the Unconscious: On the Archetypal Roots of Jungian Psychology - Peter Ammann, Dr. phil. The aim of my lecture is to trace back some major concepts of Jung’s psychology to their primordial indigenous roots, in particular their African ones. Jung’s concepts are not artificially or purely intellectually conceived constructions but correspond to ways we experience our psyche. They have a natural basis in how humans, unconsciously or consciously, are and were experiencing their psychic life in our as well as in other cultures since immemorial times.
