C.G. Jung argues that scientific education primarily focuses on abstract knowledge and statistics, which creates a distorted view of reality. This rational perspective often overlooks the individual's significance, reducing them to a mere detail in the larger framework of scientific understanding. In this view, the concrete, complex nature of individual human experiences is not adequately represented.

Jung emphasizes that the individual, despite being deemed irrational, is essential for grasping true reality. He contrasts the authentic human experience with the idealized concepts presented in scientific discourse, suggesting that the real essence of humanity cannot be captured by abstract theories alone. The individual's lived experience holds more depth and truth than the generalized, often misleading norms found in scientific analysis.
