Abstract

Throughout human history, a patriarchal attitude has been exhibited in almost every society and field. There are many different ideas and interpretations on this subject. In the field of psychology, Carl Gustav Jung is a name that needs to be examined considering his works and comments on the concepts of masculine and feminine. Carl Gustav Jung is one of the most important names in the field of psychology and the pioneer of analytical psychology. The aim of this study is to examine the concepts Jung put forward in his theory and the concept of the feminine. The title of analytical psychology, the concept of archetype and archetypes under this title are examined and the concept of feminine is emphasized. Since masculine and feminine elements are combined in our human nature, a man can live in his feminine part and a woman in her masculine part. The main issue is to establish a balance between these two. The modern woman realizes her ability to give love by reaching the highest point of pleasure only when she feels unconditional love. It is envisioned that only in such an exchange of love can femininity emerge and the awareness beyond love can be reached.
