I haven't read Jung much; but, hence what he defined as what he called as the "collective consciousness"?

Yes, well, in isolation the reification doesn't take place wheheras if one assumes that rationalist attitude, then yes?

No, it's treating the sentence: What is good is rational, as an empirical or truth-apt sentence, that gives rise to the above.
