Irrational Rationalism And Rational Irrationalism

How Leaders Should Look At Different Types Of Knowledge

Recently I’ve been reading through texts from both Freud and Jung, which has been an interesting experience.

For those who have not heard of them, you could say that they are some of the Forefathers of Psychology.

Freud and Jung at one time worked together, but due to disputes over approaches, they split into different schools.

As I was researching some of their Ideas, and discussions around those Ideas, I found an interesting opinion about these two Individuals and their approaches to Psychology.

(PS — I won’t debate whether this quote is Correct or Incorrect about these Psychological Forefathers, especially as there is a definite bias that should become apparent)

“One is tempted to characterize Jung as a supremely rational anti-rationalist, while Freud could be called a very irrational rationalist.” — Stephan A. Hoeller

Regardless of what you believe about these Psychologists and their works, this is a Fascinating Concept.
