RE: The Jungian "Shadow"
there's no logic fails, just a misunderstanding in words. in Jung speech, some conscious contents may create unconscious links and contents. making those link conscious doesn't necessarily create more unconscious contents.
about the "how" making those link conscious, the answer is obviously the
psychoanalysis work on ourselves.
that's a theory, of course
So in the end there is a logic fail: one builds an identity on the premise of having uncovered the unconscious (without any clear methodology to get to that unconscious), and that identity in turn isn't much different than the previous one in casting a shadow of things that cannot be seen, leading to a feedback loop of ever less shadow cast but constantly there regardless of how many trips to the unconscious we take (obviously impossible, but theoretically it could happen..) and bring back whatever we assume to not be casting a shadow.
yes. where is the fallacy in this process?
You are not saying that Achilles never reaches the turtle, are you? ^^
