To investigate this question Berlin Psychoanalytic invited again the Toronto-based psychoanalyst Donald Carveth (earlier discussion here) and Philosophy & Theology professor Sean J. McGrath for a conversation. As a base for our discussion, we have read the important 1958 Jung essay ‘A psychological view of conscience’. You can access it through the Substack page of our sister podcast, Psychology & The Cross and their Substack page.
