The presentation, hosted by C. G. Jung Association of Central Ohio - JACO: Conspiracy Theories! What is it about those powerful energies? How can we understand this phenomenon or even talk about it?
Conspiracy theories have been gradually occupying larger domains of cultural and political life. This presentation will take a symbolic perspective and offer a non-dismissive understanding of the reasons for strong adherence to conspiracy theories. Inadequate and noncredible representations of numinous energies in consciousness unwittingly contribute to the creation of structures with notable mythological parallels. Jung referred to this phenomenon as an “axiom of psychology,” which can explain both the archetypal nature of conspiracism and its resistance to rational correction. Thinking is free from the unconscious influence of the Self only to the extent that it is able to recognize and to relate to numinous contents, on one hand, and to withdraw projections from the object, on the other. Exploring conspiracy theories as symbols rather than rational constructs offers more fruitful solutions to our current social problems.
See you there!
