| Summary: | The article aims to explore the human and intellectual relationship between C.G. Jung and M. Eliade through the archival documents and their correspondence, with particular emphasis on a subtly problematic stage of it. Starting from their encounter at the Eranos meeting in 1950, the two scholars have developed a mutual, increasing interest in each other's field of research. Moving from different perspectives, Eliade and Jung dealt with the psychic surfacing of archetypical constants: but the Jungian concept of the collective unconscious does not coincide with that of the transconscious in the Eliade's view. In particular, an epistolary discussion (which took place in 1955) about the symbolism of the mandala highlights, alongside the undeniable convergences in their approach to the phenomenon of the sacred, their different theoretical and philosophical assumptions and, consequently, the different conception of the phenomenology of the unconscious psyche (which for Jung stemmed from the empiric experience of its autonomous dynamism, while for Eliade it was partly inspired by the relationship between Prakrti and Purusa as defined in Saākhya-Yoga).
