The Myth of Meaning in the Work of C.G. Jung

Aniela Jaffé explores the subjective world of inner experience. In so doing, she follows the path of the pioneering Swiss psychologist C G Jung, whose collaborator and friend she was through the final decades of his life. Jaffé shows that any search of meaning ultimately leads to the inner 'mythical' realm and must be understood as a limited subjective attempt to answer the unanswerable. Any conclusion drawn from such a quest is one's very own -- its formulation is one's own myth.
