    1. So this piece criticizes me for saying Jung has fascist sympathies. https://quillette.com/2018/06/01/tired-old-myths-new-republic-slanders-jung/ …pic.twitter.com/yONcbph5n0

        2. Contra what this argues, my piece did cite a source for my views on Jung's politics, Robert Ellwood's Politics of Myth (a very measured & judicious book). Here's what Ellwood sayspic.twitter.com/BhWTUzPgPN

        3. And here is Frank McLynn's Carl Gustav Jung: A Biography. (There's a lot more along this line in McLynn's book about Jung & Mussolini)pic.twitter.com/ovsquRCYHy

        4. Anyways, the literature on Jung is vast & my comments on his politics are perfectly in keeping with mainstream. What's odd is that Quillette sees Enlightenment & scientific values as compatible with Jungian mysticism.

        5. The Jung stuff actually parallels the Enlightenment debate. I think a lot of Jung is goofy mysticism but there's a very interesting kernel of cultural & personality analysis in his work. So, like Enlightenment, he has to be seen as having a complex legacy.

        6. But rather than seeing Jung or Enlightenment thinkers (Locke, Hume etc) as having complex legacy that needs shifting through, there's a real tendency towards hero worship & sidelining all criticism. Sad!

        What's the deal with quillette by the way? Are they on the conservative dark money train or is it just a bizarrely popular right wing blog?

        Can you imagine how some people will react when they hear that Bouie raised questions that Enlightenment philosophers may have empowered institutional racism!

        Bear in mind that whenever philosophical discourse is re-purposed to justify #racism, it packs a double punch when deployed to enforce #patriarchy. Thus racialized women bear the burden of oppression upon oppressions. #MMIWG

        It's interesting they don't address the other Jungians, like Joseph Campbell, who influenced Peterson. Campbell was unquestionably a fascist and anti-semite.
