EUROPE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CONFINES OF PSYCHOANALYSIS: METHODOLOGY, STATE OF BEING AND PROSPECTS

Abstract

The updating of national-regional specifics greatly complicates the problem of the sustainable development of Europe. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to study the archetypal roots as an infrastructure and a driving factor of the state of being and development potential of the EU based on the methodology of depth psychology and the genesis of the European archetype. The analysis of the “falling apart” architectonics of the EU was built on the identification of “two different mental status” setting political and psychoanalytic discourse. The fairness of the political field of events is objectified with the help of the psychoanalytic method, where tactics and means (psychoanalytic, phenomenological and hermeneutic) performed identical tasks, enlarging and specifying the knowledge obtained earlier. The archetypal complex of Europe as a mentally shaped keynote of the cultural heritage of the “Goths epoch”, destined the peculiarity of the Germany historical curve and Europe archetype. Being a primary archetype, it is understood as a process of anthropological socio-genesis expressed by a symbol.

The analysis of the event-driven structure of the archetypal space as an irrational flow exposed the conclusion of a “functioning” with synchronicity collective unconscious. Accumulation of negative experience by the latter resulted in the understanding of the fractal as a means of transferring “mind and evil” from one generation to another. Therefore, synchronicity can be dangerous, which is being observed in the destructive tendencies of Europe development. The author’s approach concerning the comprehension of the context of evil “attraction”, the probability of its meaning-changing transformation and the transition to anotherstate mechanism has been substantiated. The conceptualization of Europe archetype defines the objective of further scientific research of its development prospects.
