Scope and content

Possibly a letter draft (to Jung?), written after a seminar on Faust. Zuckerkandl writes that Faust refuses to be understood as part of certain fundamental categories; not because he is an exception, but because he reflects the reality of experience. Goethe thus provides an alternative framework to understanding the self, of polarity, i.e. a dynamic event or interaction between two poles, rather than dualism, i.e. a static identification with one of the two poles. To this Goethe adds a vertical axis of "Steigerung" (increase or improvement). Zuckerkandl then lists examples of events which establish Faust as a character defined as tension between two poles. Zuckerkandl corrected typos and added page numbers in pen.
