King, Thomas Mulvihill, 1929-. Jung's four and some philosophers: a paradigm for philosophy. Notre Dame: University of Notre Dame Press, 1999, xxii, 321pp., PAPERBACK, some messy ink underlining or marks in margins on about 10 pages in introduction, otherwise good copy. Thomas M. King, S.J., uses Jungian/Myers-Briggs typology to understand the different starting points of twelve philosophers, then uses Jungian patterns of "integration" to show similarities in their development. The "four" in the tide refers to the four faculties that Jung sees occurring in pairs in every psyche: thinking and its opposite, feeling; sensation and its opposite, intuition. One of these four will dominate (among philosophers it will characterize what they find self-evident), while the dominant's opposite is repressed into the mysterious unconscious. Thus, a thinker will repress one's feelings. To achieve wholeness, the philosopher must pass beyond what is known to seek the missing faculty and integrate it with the faculties of consciousness. King demonstrates this with highly documented studies of twelve philosophers: Plato, Locke, Sartre, Augustine, Descartes, Spinoza, Rousseau, Kant, Kierkegaard, Whitehead, Hume, and Teilhard, and a final reflection that considers the philosophic and religious quest. 9780268032517 ISBN 0268032513.
