that oppose many of those presented by Nozick, Aristotle and Hume, and that his basic definition of justice disputes the premises set by these other philosophers. Jungs concepts
of justice are an off-shot of both his religious perspective, determined by considerably Christian view points, his concepts of the self and the significance of mans duty within the realm
of morality. Justice for Jung is not a simple concept of equality or the implications of ones actions, but is more concretely a derivative of the complex structure of
human behavior. Jungs concept of justice was not derivative of the decisions made by an individual, nor did it represent the commonalty shared by society, but instead, was necessarily
derived from his conceptualization of the collective consciousness, mans innate knowledge passed down through the generations. While the concept of justice can be incorporated into societal structures and determined
by legal processes, actual justice is reflective of the nature of mans interactions that are predetermined by the collective consciousness. Man already understands the basic concept of justice, even
if it is taken outside of the context of societal situations. For Nozick, justice is more clearly a function of societal roles and interactions, though Nozick demonstrates the way
in which his libertarian theories do not always fit into normative societal structures. For example, Nozick does not necessarily recognized the societal formats that create and determine personal ownership,
