Abstract

The significance of Jung's notion of synchronicity and its place in the wider scheme of his psychology is readily underestimated. In this paper, the author suggests that the shift heralded by the emergence of the synchronistic paradigm can be understood as a response to theoretical tensions that can be traced throughout Jung's career. These tensions are reflective of the Cartesian assumptions upon which Jung grounded his ideas about typology. By examining the theoretical development of the attitudes of consciousness, the author argues for the necessity of the synchronistic paradigm in establishing coherence in Jung's psychology.
