Jung, one of the main figures of the psychoanalysis school, is as famous as S. Freud. The paper points out that Jung’s aesthetic ideas were derived completely from his psychological theory, as he was fundamentally a psychologist. These ideas were based on his application of psychoanalytic method to myth and other forms of art. In turn, Jung’s aesthetic ideas consisted of an important part of Jung’s psychological theory. The author analyzed some important concepts of Jung’s psychology, like collective unconsciousness, prototype, and his theory on art and beauty, etc. The paper argues that Jung’s aesthetics full of originality, was the same as what he had achieved in the area of the psychology. One of the unique contributions to the aesthetics is his incisive analysis into the collective, historical and ethnical nature of the artistic and aesthetic activities on the basis of his theory of “collective unconsciousness”.
