Yes, when you're holding a hammer, everything around you starts to look like a nail; archetypes are Jung's hammer so lo and behold; just about everything in the world of human affairs can be reduced to one or another archetypical scheme, genius. The book has some historical value; archetypes are just one of many human-made tools, not real entities; retrofitted staple narratives, potentially useful in generating meaning and guiding future action.

A very interesting set of topics. The language is very dense. Jung sheds a lot of light on the subconscious mind and how we are all connected.

Epistemologically speaking, hes mostly off his rocker.
Kinda underwhelming since everything he says has been incorporated into common vocab so well
that said, I got some nice insights on several deeper personal problems looking at them through his lenses while reading
one of those reads where so much of what the author says is kinda pointless academic garbage but there's a really good sentence every once in a while
