The study of the autobiographical fragments indicates that in Jung, the knowledge of the human being about himself operates constructions of the imaginary bidding us a sense of reality through the cultivation of ancestral affinities of sensibility. This was the argument I pursued. Furthermore, far from being a narcissistic closure of the subject per se, a notion of self-knowledge promotes some sort of ethics and aesthetics of life. From the constructions of the imaginary, derives the ethics from the subject to oneself (self-ethics) addressed to the other (socio-ethics). This encounter depends on the cultivation of a sense of reality that can only be carried out through the engagement in the human community, with the acceptance of their consequences. Also, a dimension of ethics refers to the anthropos. This attitude of engaging human destiny even demands a rapprochement of the subject with the ancestral memory as its primordial psychic forces and given by the cultivation of the ancestral affinities of the sensibility. The successive approaches to the research material were carried out with the support of the ideas of Mircea Eliade (1947, 1992a, 1992b, 2012), Gaston Bachelard (1978, 2008, 2013), Edgar Morin (2008, 2011, 2013, 2014), Teresa Vergani (2009), among many others. The Jung self-knowledge is a slow and patient construction, mediated by images and symbols relations, a complex and unfinished product of a lifelong itinerancy whether in terms of the individual and centuries in terms of humanity.Acesso AbertoCarl Gustav JungNarrativas autobiográficasAutoconhecimentodoctoralThesisCNPQ::OUTROS::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS
