Abstract

Researchers often talk about a powerful heuristic potential of the Kantian heritage, but
sometimes they do not show concrete examples in defense of this opinion outside the Kantianism,
and the Neo-Kantianism. This paper contains an attempt to demonstrate that on the example of
how efficiently C.G. Jung used Kantian ideas to construct the theoretical basis of the analytical
psychology in general and his conception of archetypes in particular, we can see the urgency of
Kant’s heritage not only for the Kantian spiritual successors. In addition the question is discussed,
why Jung said that epistemologically he takes his stand on Kant.
