Abstract
The Jungian notion of archetype is compared with the one developed by Ernst Curtius, also derived from Jung. Both notions are seen against the background of modernity - that both authors identify with Nazism - thus highlighting the ambiguity and potentiality embedded in Jung's original thought, generally neglected in later developments.
