Abstract:
In the works of scientists around the world, there are numerous theories on the issue of God, which focus on different aspects of it. Carl Gustav Jung is a psychologist who has addressed this issue in his research and has a specific perspective that is similar to the theory of nature in Islam in some ways. He considers God to be an archetype hidden in the collective unconscious of man. The difference in translation and different interpretations of his phrases have caused the theory to be ambiguous and its position as a defender of religious components to be unknown. The present study, using an explanatory, analytical, and library method, seeks to clarify this theory and evaluate it, and has reached the conclusion that, in Jung's view, God as an archetype is only a psychological issue that is useful for man and not an external truth. According to him, based on Darwinism, the origin of knowledge and desire for God is transmitted to all human beings through heredity, and all of them have such knowledge and desire.Such a belief, based on incorrect foundations, has consequences such as contradictory statements and failure to achieve the expected effects
