- Abstract
- This book chapter presents an attempt to translate the Jungian model of psychological development, as expressed in the notion of transcendent function, into a language of virtues. It proposes to adopt an explicitly ethical language to refer to the two sub-processes favoring the transcendent function, given their already implicitly prescriptive use. The chapter introduces the virtues of “vulnerability” and “incorruptibility” as the normative equivalents of the naturalistic mechanisms of integration/coniuctio and differentiation/separatio, respectively. In order to better understand these depth psychological virtues, a gallery of moral cases is used. Finally, the question is raised as to who is the subject of individuation or centroversion that would be able to embody a synthesis between these two mutually contradictory virtues.
