Jung could be viewed as a “heretic” in the general tide from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, since he strongly identified with the Renaissance, or the age before that (the medieval period), in terms of the times. He attempted to be one with his “object” or to go deep into it, not to reflect his “object” externally. This is also well shown in his way of inclination and immersion to Gnosticism or alchemy. In addition, Jung never thought that the “psyche” is owned by a subject, as Freud thought.
