The collected works of C. G. Jung Volume 18 – The Symbolic Life

Facts first and theories later is the keynote of Jung’s work. He is an empiricist first and last. ~British Medical Journal, 9 February 1952

This view meets with my approval. ~Carl Jung, CW 18, Page 664

I would like to point out to my critic that I have in my time been regarded not only as a Gnostic and its opposite, but also as a theist and an atheist, a mystic and a materialist.

In this concert of contending opinions I do not wish to lay too much stress on what I consider myself to be, but will quote a judgment from a leading article in the British Medical Journal (9 February 1952), a source that would seem to be above suspicion.
