Another example of Jung’s epistemological vigilance is to be found in his views about the uses and abuses of case histories. With incisive perceptiveness, he warned that The empirical intellect, occupying itself with the minutiae of case-histories, involuntarily imports its own philosophical premises not only into the arrangement but also into the judgement of the material and even into the apparently objective presentation of data. (Jung 1935a: par. 548)
