Abstract

The article examines the views of Swiss psychologist K.G. Jung on German National Socialism from the perspective of his theory of the collective unconscious. According to Jung, understanding the true causes of the emergence of nazism in Germany is possible only by studying the collective unconscious of Germans. The article reveals the mechanism of influence of archetypes on the formation of the ideology and practice of National Socialism. The characterization of the nation, the masses as a biological phenomenon subordinated not so much to reason as to emotions and instincts is given. Jung’s views on dictatorial regimes and dictators of the 20–40s of the XX century are presented.
