The missing link? Similarities between Jung's typology and Kant's judgement categories
After I engage myself more intensively with kant and found some interesting simelarities between jung's typologic and kant's judgement categories. He expanded judgements of the combination of a priori (w/o experience) and a posteriori (w/ experience) on one side with analytical (not composed) and synthetical (composed) on the other side. Jung said in his work explicitly that the EP temperament belongs to the empirical typus which means they are synthetical a posteriori and about the EJ temperament that they create something which could point to synthetical a priori. If I interpolate the scheme I get analytical jugements a priori for the IJ and analytical a posteriori for the IP temperament. Thing is that analytical judgement a posteriori are not possible! Maybe this could explain the high passiveness of which jung talk about the IPs.
A short table for better explanation:
analytical a priori_________________________| analytical a posteriori
tautologic; logic, (empirical psychology?) IJ __| not possible, IP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
synthetical a priori________________________| synthetical a posteriori
mathematics, pure physics, EJ______________| empirical, induction, EP
If you want to know more about the judgment and understand german I can recommon the german wikipedia article of "kritik der reinen vernunft" (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kritik_...nft#Einleitung).
Any ideas?
