Big surprise Jung without a massive amount of context. Sorry, I think there are just certain figures you can't quote accurately without the rest of their book. I don't think there is a single page, or possibly even chapter from Modern Man In Search Of A Soul that can be clipped if you wil.
He makes a statement in one chapter, then argues for or opposed in following chapters.
Oh that makes it feel better 🤔
I don't know from which book that quote was pulled, but I can tell you his books aren't easy to understand, because he never tells you what to think. His target audience wasn't us imo, it was other philosophers and academics past, present, and future.
I always felt as if Jung was a somewhat narrow-minded individual, tbh. Not suggesting he was wrong about all his hypotheses, just that he couldn't accurately explain human complexity in any of them.

I completely agree, although I'm far from a Jung student. Not sure i'd label it "narrow-minded". i'd have to think of a different adjective. Perhaps more "missing context"
