Abstract
C.G. Jung's choice of a science-based career in medicine is examined beginning with his dreams at age 19. His first Zofinga lecture gives perspective on his views on the science of the time and helps clarify aspects of his education. The influence of Ernst Haeckel, the German scientist and artist, are drawn out in the context of images from Jung'sRed book. After stopping work on theRed book, Jung again embraced aspects of science but these were now more directly put to use to support his own theoretical frame, which could be read as a visionary science or a science of the visionary. This has led to a legacy of ambivalence regarding science, but in this article some areas of mutual interest with contemporary neuroscience are noted.
