Summary/Abstract: As far as possible, Štulhofer's demands ori depth psychology (DI 3, 10-11) are satisfied. The author quotes observations (as made elsewhere) the results of which may be taken to demonstrate the collective unconscious. Štulhofer's demands are excessive when he requires the hypothesis of the collective unconscious to be verified in a way appropriate to a neurophysiological theory. The apo ria of the subconscious (its irrationalitiy vs. its functionality) disappears if the concepts proposed before (DI 3, 9) are applied. Modernization doesn't always result in an equalization of different collectives in the sense of permitting them to attain full rationality, as Štulhofer apparently believes. The USSR may be taken as a case in which the opposite prevailed.
