Answer to Job

Methodology and Conclusions

In «Answer to Job», Carl Gustav Jung employs analytical psychology to explore the biblical text about Job. Jung uses a method of deep analysis to interpret the symbolism and archetypes present in the story of Job and their influence on the human psyche. He views Job as a symbol of humanity's struggle with divine injustice and examines the relationships between the conscious and unconscious, as well as between humans and God. Jung concludes that the story of Job reflects an internal conflict between good and evil in the divine nature and emphasizes the necessity of integrating the shadow to achieve personal wholeness. He also asserts that the development of human consciousness requires the recognition and awareness of these internal conflicts and contradictions.
