Book: Archetypes in Religion and Beyond
Chapter: c. Projection as Metaphysical Belief
Blurb:
Projection is equivalent to metaphysical belief, because all such beliefs involve claims about ‘essential’ or ‘real’ features (or their absence). Different types of metaphysical belief can be associated with the projection of different archetypal functions – for instance, the projection of God’s ‘existence’ from the transcendence function.
