Answer to Job: (From Vol. 11 of the Collected Works of C. G. Jung)

To Aniela Jaffe

Dear Aniela, 18 July 1951

I am especially pleased that you could get into such close relationship with the second part of my book.

So far most people have remained stuck in the first.

I personally have the second more at heart because it is bound up with the present and future.

If there is anything like the spirit seizing one by the scruff of the neck, it was the way this book came into being.

Footnote: “Answer to Job,” CW 11. The second part probably begins at sec. 8, pars . 649ff.
