The сrisis of Christian сulture and ways to overcome it: C.G. Jung and F. Nietzsche

The analysis of the reception of F. Nietzsche’s doctrine in K.G. Jung’s analytical psychology makes it possible to tell about the origins of the crisis of Christian culture in the modern world. The article provides a brief overview of K.G. Jung’s theological views and substantiates the thesis according to which, in a situation of crisis of traditional Christianity, Nietzsche’s attempt to return to the traditions of apophatic theology failed due to the erroneous identification of the divine and the human in the doctrine of the overman. It is revealed that, on the one hand, in the doctrine of the overman, an attempt was made to revive Christian symbolism, and on the other, there was a substitution of the question of the divine in man with the idea of deification of man.

Abstract

The analysis of the reception of F. Nietzsche’s doctrine in K.G. Jung’s analytical psychology makes it possible to tell about the origins of the crisis of Christian culture in the modern world. The article provides a brief overview of K.G. Jung’s theological views and substantiates the thesis according to which, in a situation of crisis of traditional Christianity, Nietzsche’s attempt to return to the traditions of apophatic theology failed due to the erroneous identification of the divine and the human in the doctrine of the overman. It is revealed that, on the one hand, in the doctrine of the overman, an attempt was made to revive Christian symbolism, and on the other, there was a substitution of the question of the divine in man with the idea of deification of man.
