Abstract
ABSTRACT The author presents a comprehensive framework in philosophical psychology known as Jungian philosophical psychology. This approach marks a departure from the Cartesian-Kantian worldview and is firmly rooted in the collective unconscious rather than the ego-I pole of consciousness. It aligns more closely with materialism than with idealism. To shed light on this position, the author offers a broad overview of various materialistic trends in twentieth-century postmodernism and positions Jungian philosophical psychology within this context.
