Title	The coincidence of opposites: C.G. Jung’s reception of Nicholas of Cusa.
Authors	Henderson, D.
Abstract	The focus of this essay is on C.G. Jung's reception and appropriation of Cusa's concept of the coincidence of opposites. The coincidence of opposites is a key to understanding Jung's psychology. Jung's use of Cusa is a case study in how he adopts and subverts historical resouces to build his own theory. The paper is written from the perspective of Jungian studies and is not a comparison of the use of the concept by the two writers.
