    About this ebook

    Giovanni Maddelena, at the University of Molise, publishes an article in the European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy in June, 2017. The title is "Jung and Peirce: Towards a Psychosynthesis".
    Charles Peirce, the founder of postmodern semiotics, writes around the same time as Sigmund Freud, the founder of modern psychoanalysis. The two traditions develop independently. Early encounters between the two are similar to questions about academic turf, more than anything else. However, over time, with Jung enriching Freud's paradigm with the concept of the self, and with Peirce's tradition visualizing psychosynthetic expression (as "gestures"), a complementarity between the two traditions arises.
    What do Jung's mandalas and Peirce's existential graphs have in common?
    Why does Jung's use of the word "self" seem strangely ambiguous, as if it is a case of double vision?
    Why is Peirce's tradition so valuable in comprehending Jung's concept of the Self?
    These questions are addressed in these comments.

      Notes on Text

      Giovanni Maddalena, at the University of Molise, reviews the histories of Peirce's attitude towards psychology as well as Jung's metaphysical realism. He then speculates on the usefulness of a comparison. His conclusions contrast history and theory. History has not provided us with the theoretical richness both have to offer, especially in regards to synthetic approaches to inquiry.

      The goal of these comments is to explore Maddalena's discussion through the lens of the category-based nested form. This form belongs to Peirce's tradition and applies to Jung's psychoanalytic model.

      Prerequisites include A Primer on the Category-Based Nested Form. Suggested reading includes Comments on Jacques Lacan's Lectures (1960) Discourse to Catholics.
