C. G. Jung and intuition: from the mindscape of the paranormal to the heart of psychology.
The Journal of analytical psychology February 1, 2018 Nathalie Pilard
Intuition is central to C. G. Jung's work, practice, and philosophical legacy. Initially attracted to intuition as an extraordinary gift linked to the paranormal, Jung explored it in his early Zofingia Lectures and his 1902 study of occult phenomena. A major shift occurred in 1913 when he turned esotericist intuitions toward psychological use in his Red Book, incorporating intuition at the core of his psychology—both in practice through empathy and in theory. In his 1921 book Psychological Types, intuition became the first of four fundamental psychological functions alongside thinking, feeling, and sensation, establishing it as the most significant function of the psyche through rational argument.
