The author argues that Jung transforms Kant's consciousness of duty into the duty to be conscious while also endorsing Nietzsche's project of an individual ethics beyond collective morality. Colacicchi shows that Jung is concerned, like Aristotle, with the human need to acquire a balance between reason and emotions; and that Jung puts forward, with his understanding of the shadow, a moral psychology of the Christian notion of evil. Jung's psycho-ethical paradigm is thus capable of integrating ethical theories which are often read as mutually exclusive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePsychology as Ethics \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to researchers in the history of ideas and the philosophy of the unconscious, as well as to therapists and counsellors who wish to place their psychodynamic work in its philosophical context.
