Symbolic hermeneutics, Jung and multidisciplinarity: light and dark in education

This review and narrative analysis of the literature adopts a multidisciplinary approach to seek epistemological-methodological approaches for research in education to switch from mere knowledge spreading into a potential increase in consciousness. This paper follows the dialogical interface between multidisciplinarity and the symbolic hermeneutics of the Eranos circle (HSCE). It utilizes the concept of unus mundus by Carl Gustav Jung as a symbolic tool of hermeneutic work that transforms reality. By this hermeneutic circularity process, multiple interfaces emerge for every step in analyzing theories and biographies, following a dichotomy of light and dark.
