Peterson's empiricism is far inferior to that of Jung's, leading to a conflation of a symbolic interpretation for absolute truth which is absent in Jung's work.

It's not an error, it's the unavoidable outcome of their (shared) personality type. That being said, Jung had integrated his to a degree which Peterson can only intuit from afar, which allowed him to observe those aspects where Peterson remains blindly attached.

Was Jung an INTP?
-
They're both INFJ.

Jung was a mystic and a scientist. The path of Integration is first and foremost a mystical path.

I don't disagree, but you seem well versed in his work and therefore understand what 'mystic' means as pertains to him. I think that for somebody new, it is a misleading label for a very misunderstood figure as it is.
-
Though, inevitably, a small minority will be drawn to him more if he is labelled that.

The difference between Jung and Peterson is genius IQ to professor IQ.
-
Undoubtedly. I meant to draw attention to the differences in the degree of empiricism, which result in qualitatively different inductions.

I just wanted to have a pop.

Peterson gets a bizarre INFJ-typical feedback (preselection) for telling people how great others like Jung are. You're barely fit to lace his boots mate.

I think JBP can be an effective intermediary for the layman, and can be used as a bridge to metaphysics and psychoanalysis. Where many fail is to continue idolising him and so dehumanise themselves. They fail to realise the fallibility of their father figure and remain trapped.

Nietzsche made me a brutal nihilist Jung woke me up to the majesty of the religious endeavor I could very easily see how people could turn him into a preacher at the pulpit He has the power to... redeem Same goes for JBP

What do you think of Jung's forward to Richard Wilhelm's translation of the I Ching?
