X Abstract

Religion is a prevalent theme in the works of both Émile Durkheim and C. G. Jung, who participated in a common intellectual milieu. A comparison of Durkheim's "collective consciousness" and Jung's "collective unconscious" reveals strikingly similar concepts. The components of these structures, collective representations and archetypes, illustrate interdependent sociological and psychological processes in the theorized creation of religious phenomena. An analysis of the constitutive elements in these processes offers a basis for structuring a transpersonal sociology of religion.
