It is easy to think of the archetype of the Shadow Donald Trump but the shadow archetype requires a subject of which it is the shadow. Could Trump in fact be the social justice Shadow? From the point of view of Jung Trump is clearly no accident from the point of view of depth psychology (aka Jungian psychology). For Jung the Shadow archetype was the compensation to our excessively polished public face (the persona archetype); it is the aspects of our authentic self that we deny in order to fit into society. In a time where social justice is such a dominant theme in the zeitgeist, the psychology of social justice becomes very important to study. Such brightness and goodness as make up the persona of the social justice movement must cast a dark shadow indeed and this may be exactly what we see in Trump and the Shadow of his movement. Trump Jordan Peterson and Carl Jung might say is the inevitable compensation of the collective unconscious to the light of the social justice movement. In this episode of The Living Philosophy we are going to explore this topic deeper by comparing the situation with Game of Thrones where in the vein of Jung Cersei Lannister shows us a similar psychodrama of the Shadow archetype in her march from the church of the Sept and the High Sparrow to the Red Keep in one of tvs most famous scenes. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ3cevtHg5k

The Sartre Camus friendship was a meeting between two of 20th-century philosophy's giants. They first became friends during WW2 but it was doomed to fail. The conflict of Camus vs. Sartre boils down to their political philosophy. The philosophy of Albert Camus was one of peace and valued the individual human being; the philosophy of Jean Paul Sartre on the other hand emphasised the need to end oppression and colonialism. Sartre and Camus falling out was one of the major events of 20th century philosophy. It represented two paths forward in the world. In this episode of the living philosophy we explore the friendship of Camus and Sartre and the bitter feud that brought it to an end. _________________ ? Further Reading: Camus, A., 2013.

God is dead is one of the most notorious lines in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. But it is commonly mistaken for a modernist sentiment proclaiming the death of Christianity’s God. But that is not what Nietzsche intended. It was not a declaration of atheism; atheism was already a trivial point of view (if still controversial) by the end of the 19th century. Nietzsche was not echoing a common sentiment but pushing beyond to its unseen implications. Nietzsche was pioneering the postmodern perspective. This is obvious from the aphorism it occurs in. In The Gay Science Nietzsche tells the parable of the madman who declares the death of God. The madman’s audience are not religious believers or members of the Church as one would expect from a declaration of God’s death. The audience was a crowd of jeering non-believers. This points to the real intention of Nietzsche’s statement. In this episode we are going to explore the meaning of this statement in light of this insight and see what exactly Nietzsche meant by his provocative statement that God is dead and we have killed him. _________________ ⭐ Support the channel (thank you!) ▶ Patreon: https://patreon.com/thelivingphilosophy ▶ Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/thelivingphilosophy ________________ ?

What is the Greta Thunberg archetype? Greta has become the embodiment of the archetypal Divine Child and as such is the perfect symbol for the green Global Warming movement. The nature of the archetypal child is to see things simply untainted by the complexities of the world. Its nature is to question the ways of the world and to see how the world could be without the tinting of the status quo which we get as we become adults. Greta Thunberg ticks all of these boxes in a way that Al Gore or any other figurehead can. She cuts past the complexities of modern life which we use as excuses to fall into inertia. With the simple vision of a child-like she cuts past all these excuses and reminds us that this is an existential threat to the whole species and burying our head in the sand will not make it go away. This is the innocent vision of truth of Jungian psychology's Divine Child archetype. In this episode we explore the archetypal connections of Greta and why she has become the perfect embodiment of the climate change Extinction Rebellion movement.
