Very nice. If Hart ever puffs out a vacuous hit piece on Nietzsche, I'd love to read your destruction of that too. Which is to say, your essay here on Jung intrigued me to wonder about (your view on) Nietzsche's influence/relevance, on Jung and on our current world-historical ideological state of things or whatever.
I think there are plenty of criticisms that can be directed at Jung, but Hart's don't even seem to be about the right person. And yes indeed, our loyalty should be to the truth; the cause of God has nothing to fear from loyalty to the truth.
Fascinating, thank you. This is above my pay grade and I confess to an instinctive skepticism towards Jung, but this blog post (posted during the early rise of Jordan Peterson) induced me to give it a second thought:
Skepticism toward any human being is I think warranted: "No one is good but God alone." I could write a 5000 word takedown of Jung, and if there were some outbreak of harm in the world from Jungian psychology, that might be a worthwhile thing to do, but I don't think it's high in terms of the world's problems. And in the meantime, there's plenty of good in Jung which might be helpful. In general he was positive on tradition, insistent on our human need for meaning, and convinced that our nature depended on loving God and man. Sounds like an ally in general to me.
Thank you. This is excellent.
You quote lengthy pieces from another piece you wrote on Jung, but there's no source for it. Where is that from?
I'll migrate it here next week!

Clarifying. I read it twice. Hart, like many "apologists," wants to find fault rather than truth.
Conclusion: "We're all a little crazy, some just a tad more than others." Thank you, John, and thank you, Carl.
