A needed rapprochement between Jung and the contemporary human sciences may rest less on the much debated relevance of a biologistic collective unconscious than on a re-inscribing of an archetypal imagination, as the phenomenological and empirical core of Jungian psychology. The most promising approaches in this regard in terms of theory and research in psychology come from combining the cognitive psychology of metaphor and synaesthesia, individual differences in imaginative absorption and openness to numinous experience and spirituality as a form of symbolic intelligence. On the socio-cultural side, this cognitive psychology of archetypal imagination is also congruent with Lévi-Strauss on the metaphoric roots of mythological thinking, and Durkheim on a sociology of collective consciousness. This conjoined perspective, while validating the cross cultural commonality of physical metaphor intuited by Jung and Hillman on alchemy, also shows Jung's Red Book, considered as the expressive source for his more formal psychology, to be far closer in spirit to a socio-cultural collective consciousness, based on metaphoric imagination, than to a phylogenetic or evolutionary unconscious. A mutual re-inscribing of Jung into congruent areas of contemporary psychology, anthropology, sociology, and vice versa, can help to further validate Jung's key observations and is fully consistent with Jung's own early efforts at synthesis within the human sciences.
荣格与当代人文科学之间必要的和解，可能更少依赖于备受争议的生物主义集体无意识的相关性，而更多地依赖于对原型想象的重新书写，将其作为荣格心理学的现象学和经验核心。就心理学的理论和研究而言，这方面最有前景的方法来自于将隐喻和通感的认知心理学、想象吸收的个体差异以及对神秘体验和灵性的开放性作为一种象征智能形式相结合。在社会文化方面，这种原型想象的认知心理学也与列维 - 斯特劳斯关于神话思维的隐喻根源以及涂尔干关于集体意识的社会学观点相一致。这种联合视角在验证荣格和希尔曼在炼金术方面直觉到的物理隐喻的跨文化共性时，还表明被视为荣格更正式心理学表达来源的《红书》，在精神上更接近于基于隐喻想象的社会文化集体意识，而非种系发生或进化无意识。荣格与当代心理学、人类学、社会学的相应领域相互重新书写，反之亦然，这有助于进一步验证荣格的关键观察结果，并且与荣格本人早期在人文科学领域进行综合的努力完全一致。
