EDITORIAL NOTE TO THE FIRST EDITION
“The Structure of the Unconscious” and “New Paths in Psychology” together
marked a turning point in the history of analytical psychology, for they revealed
the foundations upon which the greater part of Professor Jung’s later work was
built.
Both these essays were considerably revised and expanded for the successive
editions mentioned in the Prefaces to the present volume. These Prefaces
indicate the extent of the changes which were made on each occasion. As C. F.
and H. G. Baynes say in the introduction to their English translation of an
intermediate version, where the title Two Essays in Analytical Psychology was
used for the first time: “Of the first essay only the framework of its earlier form
can be recognized, and so much new material has been added to the second
essay that both works start afresh, so to speak, full of the amazing vitality of
Jung’s mind.” The essays are indeed remarkable for the number of revisions to
which they have been subjected, each reflecting a new development of thought
based upon increasingly fruitful researches into the unconscious.
However interesting the intermediate versions may be in themselves, the
original drafts of these essays are undoubtedly far more significant to the student
of analytical psychology. They contain the first tentative formulations of Jung’s
concept of archetypes and the collective unconscious, as well as his germinating
theory of types. This theory was put forward, partially at least, as an attempt to
explain the conflicts within the psychoanalytic school, of which he had been so
prominent a member and from which he had so recently seceded.
With these considerations in mind the Editors decided to include the original
drafts of these two essays in separate Appendices. It was felt that their historical
interest fully justified the duplication of reading matter which comparison of the
texts would involve.
Acknowledgment is gratefully made of the kindness of Faber and Faber, Ltd.,
London, and the Oxford University Press, New York, in permitting quotation
from the Louis MacNeice translation of Goethe’s Faust.
EDITORIAL NOTE TO THE SECOND EDITION
When the stock of the first edition of this volume was exhausted, twelve years
after its first publication, the publishers undertook a complete resetting of type
rather than a corrected reprint, as the result of research among Professor Jung’s
posthumous papers.
The text of Appendix 1, “New Paths in Psychology,” was found to be an
incomplete version of what the author published in 1912, and it was decided to
publish the complete version, with the earliest deletions indicated. For Appendix
2, “The Structure of the Unconscious,” it had been necessary in the first edition
to retranslate a French translation in the absence of the original German.
Subsequently the author’s holograph manuscript was discovered in his archives,
and this furthermore contained several unpublished passages and variants of
historical interest.
Both appendices have accordingly been re-edited and largely retranslated to
take the new findings into account. (For details, see the editorial note at the
beginning of each appendix.) Similar though not identical presentations were
published in Volume 7 of the Gesammelte Werke, i.e., the Swiss edition, in 1964.
Also on the model of the Swiss edition, the complete texts of the various
forewords have been added. The title of the first essay has been modified to “On
the Psychology of the Unconscious.”
The texts of the two main essays have also been revised, for consistency, the
reference apparatus has been brought up to date, a bibliography has been added,
and a new index has been supplied.
