Long abstractI will begin by disclosing my own prejudices since they surely have shaped my reactions to these chapters. Psychological Prejudices. In spite of the sexism, heterosex-ism, and racism that invade Carl Jung’s theorizing, I am a Jungi-an—or, more accurately, a post-Jungian1—and a feminist. The challenge for me as a lesbian Jungian has been not to defend, reinterpret, contort, or reformulate Jung and his theories—but, rather, to use Jung, often against himself, in ways that seem “truly Jungian” and thus, hopefully, to follow through on the “subversive possibility that Jung opens up” (Samuels 1989, tape) when we take him “beyond” himself. Philosophical Horizons. My reading in queer theory has been motivated mainly by the work of Judith Butler and has focused on queer theory’s usefulness in understanding LGBTQI experi-ence in a heterosexist and genderized world. My philosophical prejudices derive from the work of Hans-Georg Gadamer, espe-cially his approach to hermeneutics and the problem of under-standing.
