Transcendence of the self: Reflections about an 'interpersonal self' in analytical psychology

The concept of the self in analytical psychology exhibits a transempirical character. This transcendent function is represented as 'complexio opposito rum'. On the other hand, the concept of the self is not simply attributable to persons, rather it belongs to the interpersonal realm of the 'between'. The present paper tries to demonstrate that the constitution of the self - as a transcendent function - belongs to the field of metapsychology of int erpersonality and can be elucidated only from this point of view.
