Pauli, Fludd and alchemy
An important meeting for physics and psychology was that between 900 Wolfgang Pauli, Nobel prize for physics, and Carl Gustav Jung, founder of analytical psychology. Quantum physics of Pauli to Jung served as a model to overcome the model of classical physics that Sigmund Freud was used to found psychoanalysis. Jung devoted considerable study to an understanding of alchemy in psychological terms, particularly analyzing several hundred of Pauli's dreams. Pauli, in turn, tried to understand the roots of modern physics and science through the archetypes and Jungian archetypal images of the collective unconscious. He saw in the controversy between Kepler and Fludd, with the prevalence of the ideas of Kepler in the foundation of modern physics, the confrontation and conflict between different instances of archetypes and images that the new view of quantum physics can and should instead complement.
