《女性心理的结构类型》——ToniWolff(6)

这种文化形式也已经消失了，而对于包含于历史进程中的现代女性来说，两个因素具有特殊的重要性：选择职业的自由以及对生育控制的知识（虽然后者已经在原始人那里发现了）。中世纪有两种公认的对女性敞开的生活方式：一种是嫁为人妻，另一种是修女（尼姑）。后者为几种结构类型提供了表达的可能性：慈善（博爱），神圣的“爱”，幻想，以及精神斗争。在这一点上同样必须提及作为心灵表达的女巫，她们不依赖任何生活方式或者忏悔——是一种异端的魔法与邪恶的联合。
With the revival of classical antiquity during the era of the renaissance, Olympus and its deities also rose again into consciousness--a many-figured soul image for the man, and for the woman a manifold symbolic expression of femininity: Hera, consort and queen; Demeter-Persephone, the mother; Aphrodite, the lover; Pallas Athene, the carrier of culture and protectress of the heroes; Artemis, the maidenly huntress; Hecate, the ruler in the netherworld of magic (10). However, the essence of the renaissance was not a ret!Jrn to ancient religion, but the discovery of nature and of man (1 1); it is the spiritual exponent of the since then irresistible trend away from the other world to this earth, a trend which eventually but mistakenly led to materialism. To be sure, considered positively this world is indeed reality in the truest meaning of the term, and its empirical investigation was bound to result in the rediscovery of certain given, though not necessarily obvious, facts: i.e. of the energetic concept of matter in physics, and in psychology of the psyche as the origin of consciousness and the creative matrix of all its realizations and manifestation in life. How greatly, besides the unconscious of the man, the psyche of the woman contributed to this knowledge is briefly described by C. G. Jung in " Die Frau in Europa" (Woman in Europe) and by Linda Fierz-David in Frauen als Weckerinnen seelischen "Lebens (Women as Awakeners of Psychic Life) in: " Die kulturelle Bedeutung der komplexen Psychologie" , Rascher, Zurich.
