Lot 4487		Jung, Carl Gustav (1875-1961) Swiss-German psychoanalyst who, with Sigmund Freud, brought psychology into the 20th century.

Jung / Küsnacht-Zürich / /Seestrasse 228" stationery, March 2, 1957, 1½ pp, quarto. In German, with eight holograph corrections, to Prof. Dr. Ernst Hanhart. He writes, in part: "My sincere thanks for your enlightening remarks. Allow me a few annotations to your manuscript. I would be pleased if you would treat my analysis of the Freudian character with discretion. I actually communicated my opinions to you sub secreto medici. Because my opinions stemmed from intimate acquaintanceship with him, and moreover they hint at certain backgrounds for the initiated….It is always taken for granted…that my critical dispute with Freud originated from a purely personal hostility on my part. Instead of using Freud and Adler as examples, you could use Nietsche and Wagner, the Dionysian and Apollonian example, or the Jordanian descriptions. It should also be noted, that I characterized neither Adler nor Freud personally as introverted or extraverted, but this classification would be received from your manner of expression. With this, the question of the actual personality type remains open. I knew Adler personally very slightly, and therefore I can say little about his actual personality. On the other hand, I knew Freud very well. He was without a doubt a neurotic. Now we know from experience that in the case of neurosis, it is often extraordinarily difficult to determine the actual type, because at first, and for a relatively long period thereafter, one does not know what one is observing, conscious or unconscious behaviour. Freud's range of ideas has indubitably an extraverted character, that is, pleasure and aversion to the object. Adler, on the other hand, shows an introverted character, insofar as he stressed the power of the ego as decisive…. " Jung goes on to discuss "the problem of the small but decisive chance incidents" that "form the quite special problem of acausal arrangements as significant coincidences….," as well as the need to divest "self-punishment" of its ego character. With English translation. A superb letter! Estimated Value $8,000 - 10,000. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $6,038
Lot 4488		Jung, Carl Gustav. Autograph Letter Signed ("C.G. Jung"), on black-bordered stationery, Küsnacht-Zurich, Aug. 12, 1958, 1½ pp, octavo. To Dr. E.H. Henley, in English, with condolences on the sudden death of Henley's wife. In part: "…Such a death is a blessing. I am glad that I have seen her so soon before the end of her days. I know what it means to loose [sic] one's wife and how grateful one is, when the end comes swiftly. But the silence and the absence,which follows, are hard to bear. There your patience and your fortitude will be tried. My thoughts and my sympathy will go with you. Never forget, that your dream - the voice of the age old Man in us insists upon rejuvenation of life's fulness over against the fragment we represent in our three dimensional existence. Yours affectionately…." With transmittal envelope. Very fine. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photo	Realized $2,185
