Abstract

This paper aims to position Jung’s psychology of religion in the context of the development of the study of religion in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I argue that Jung’s psychology of religion represents a synthesis between the ‘science of religion’ tradition, put forward by luminaries such as Max Müller and Cornelis Petrus Tiele, and the psychology of religion that Jung encountered in the works of his two intellectual masters, Théodore Flournoy and William James. KEYWORDS C.G. Jung, psychology of religion, science of religion, Max Müller, William James
