Disagreeing with Jung's emphasis on his work as empirical, the author points to the concept of the archetypes, themselves unobservable, unknowable and universal, as theoretical entities. Comparing analytical psychology and psychoanalysis, he sees the latter as dualistic, because of its dependence on biological concepts, as was the vision of the universe before Newton. Analytical Psychology is therefore the “youngest” science, comparable to modern physics. (pp. 10-11)
