Key Notes
Hatred of another person separates the hater from the Monad and becomes self-hatred.
Jiang says Jung, Freud, and related psychological theories influenced Picasso's cubist Head of a Woman by visually representing a divided theory of the self.
Jung systematizes Freud by distinguishing ego, personal unconscious, collective unconscious, animus/anima, persona, shadow, and self.
Jiang reads Picasso's cubist portrait as visually representing Jung's theory of the divided self.
The next stage of the course will explain modern self-enslavement through Freud: psychology shifts attention from world and community to the individual self.
