Talk:Animus (concept)

"The Latin root of animus is cognate with Greek anemos (wind), breath and is cognate with aniti he breathes."

What is "aniti"?

Animus? Is this being confused with Anima?
From sources such as dictionary.com, the definition/article about "Animus" should seemingly be about "Anima".

My understanding is that both terms orgininated from Carl Gustav (C.G.) Jung; a Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist from the late 19th Century and early to middle 20th Century.

Dictionary.com gives the definition of "Anima" as being...

"In Jungian psychology: a) The unconscious or true inner self of an individual, as opposed to the persona, or outer aspect of the personality. b) The feminine inner personality, as present in the unconscious of the male. It is in contrast to the animus, which represents masculine characteristics."

Which is in contrast to "Animus" as being...

"In Jungian psychology, the masculine inner personality as present in women."
