This article will retrieve Heidegger’s interpretation on Nietzsche’s Will to Power and a phenomenological interpretation of Jung’s writing on complexes and the Rosarium Philosophorum to project a new meaning to explain Jung’s transcendent function. By the end of this article, the reader should have gained a more detailed and specific description of complexes, the Rosarium Philosophorum and the transcendent function because further aspects of the phenomenology and ontology have been highlighted which includes understanding the transcendent function as Nietzsche’s Will to Power.
