I have tried to summarise some of the main ideas from this thread in this paper for the Canberra Jung Society Journal: Jung, Climate Change and the Answer to Job.
Abstract: Jung’s analysis of the Biblical book of Job situates its moral questions against a terrestrial cosmology, presenting an archetypal framework for psychology grounded in the collective unconscious. This approach produces a systematic philosophy, helping to understand psychology at mythic and logical levels, and supporting coherent assessment of climate change in scientific and spiritual terms.
