Resumo: |
This research was developed under the scope of History of Science, starting from the hypothesis that Gerhard Dorn's (153/35 - 1584) work has played an important role in the validation of key concepts of Carl Gustav Jung's (1875 - 1961) understanding of alchemy. Although Jung's publications contain references to a great number of authors who wrote about the subject, some of them ended up becoming the main characters used by Jung to voice his psychological understanding of alchemy, as well as in the connections found between lab work and Analytical Psychology. Dorn's studies, The Speculative Philosophy and The Meditative Philosophy in special, were of great relevance when Jung defended his thesis about the role of the unconscious process during the alchemical opus. Moreover, the alchemist work became important for Jung's analysis concerning the process of matter transformation – stating that it would actually be the projection of an inner psychological development. Regarding Jung's last work on alchemy, the beliefs found in Dorn's treaty were then used to add the final alchemical shape to one of his most important concepts: the individuation process. With this goal in mind, we approached alchemy at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th as the starting point for this paper, contextualizing Jung's understanding and analyzing the methodology he used in his own studies. Part of this paper is also dedicated to a brief analysis of Gerhard Dorn's work by using the work of some historians of science as our reference. We also sought after themes within Jung's publications in which the alchemist would have used as a way to ground his Jungian hypothesis, in special the importance Jung gives him by claiming Dorn to be one of the first to study the process of individuation. At last, the final chapter is dedicated to the analysis of how Dorn's ideas worked in the constitution of this final concept |
