“…I mention now von Franz’s last public lecture delivered in Kusnacht in 1986, titled suggestively, ‘The Rehabilitation of the Feeling Function in Our Civilization’ (von Franz 2008, 9–20). I suggest that this ‘rehabilitation’ project began for Jung in earnest with The Red Book and specifically with the key chapter (‘Resolution’) of the blind Salome regaining her sight after Jung’s ego‐pattern underwent a ritual sacrifice in what is arguably one of the most critically important episodes of the book.…”

Expanding on Jung’s use of the role of the superior and inferior functions, Angelo Spoto advances a new typological model based on ‘whole type’ that utilizes a typological perspective on the archetypal Self. In this new model four cognitive modes taking superior positions are developed in the first half of life and four cognitive modes taking inferior positions are encountered in the second half of life. This model indicates that type development and type dynamics take place through the holding of the tension of opposites between superior and inferior functions, helped by the transcendent function operating differently in the first and second halves of life. Specifically, in the first half of life, the transcendent function produces a tertium that moves typological development along to consolidate an ego‐pattern. In the second half of life, the transcendent function takes the individual into encounters having to do with an appreciation of sacrifice, transformation, and symbol‐making, as the personality advances towards a greater awareness of wholeness, by way of the inferiors.
