energic viewpoint, n.All

The Energic viewpoint (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the real value of the libido concept, not its sexual definition: Jung proposed dropping the predicate "sexual" from libido, or the critics' charge of mysticism would stand.

The Energic viewpoint (n.) treats ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠all psychic phenomena as manifestations of energy, as physics did after Robert Mayer's conservation law; Jung proposed it to free psychoanalysis from a purely sexual standpoint.
