-1- Individual Soul and World Soul: The Process of Individuation in Neoplatonism & Jung B. J. MacLennan Department of Computer Science University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN 37996-3450, USA [email protected] January 5, 2006 I. Introduction Indivi duatio n is one of the most important concepts defined by Carl G. Jung, and he and other analytic psychologists have developed a variety of techniques, including active imagination and dream analysis, to facilitate the process of individuation. Nevertheless, individuation is a universal human potential, and various spiritual traditions have their own practices to facilitate it. In particular, Neoplatonism has much in common with depth psycho logy and its techni ques, which is not surprisin g, since Jung was influen ced by Neoplatonism, both directly and indirectly through the related systems of Gnosticism and alchemy (as discussed in more detail later). Therefore we can learn from Neoplatonic spiritual practices, which also facilitate individuation, and thereby expand our range of analytic techniques. Jungian psychology and Neoplatonism share a commitment to the reality of psychical experience and its phenomenological investigation; for both of them, archetypal Ideas are fundamental. Therefore they both are widely believed to sit uneasily with modern materi- alistic science. However, as will be explained more fully later, Jungian psychology is quite compatible with contemporary evolutionary psychology (e.g., Stevens, 2003), and therefore, for the most part, so is Neoplatonism. Indeed, each of the three approaches — Neoplaton ism, Jungian psycholog y, and evolution ary psychology — may contribut e to the development of the others; together they constitute a framework for understanding mind, matter, and human individuation. Invited chapter for Thomas Arzt (Ed.), Milestones of Ind ividuation. Würzburg: König- shausen & Neumann.
