Check out the abstract:
This article presents an analysis on moral autonomy in the Collected Works of Carl Gustav Jung, with a focus on personality development and the concepts of morality and autonomy. Although Jung was not an educational theorist, his theory offers important insights into the way these aspects develop in the individual. We performed a review of Jung's Collected Works, discovering the correlation the author makes between morality and self-knowledge, suggesting that true morality is not imposed from outside but arises within the individuals, as they integrate the conscious and unconscious aspects of their psyche. We concluded the article discussing the way these ideas can be applied in an educational context to foster autonomous moral development. Besides, we considered the importance of education and social interaction in the construction of autonomy, highlighting the relevance of this approach for the formation of more aware and autonomous individuals.
