Subject: RE: Singing with Archetypes
My point was that they are NOT found throughout human culture. Some forms of categorization go back a long way (mainly oriented towards physical medicine), but the present-day bourgeois craze of seeking out exotic methodologies for self-classification is culturally specific, peculiar to upper-middle-class Western Europe in the late 19th century and to social groupings in a line of direct influence from that culture. It has nothing to say to humanity as a whole.
