basis for exploring a dialectic between jungianism and postmodernism?

The deeper element of contention between JP and Postmodernism is that positing any theory of meaning whatsoever presupposes a metaphysic, or a notion of purpose, significance, or belonging—being part of the universe— rather than a notion of separation; by this I mean a heightened perception of reality’s indifference to us, and its radically contingent or absurd nature. It is not a surprise given this conception that so many Philosophers including postmodernists have become Nihilists or skeptical agnostics in relation to ontological or personal meaning. Avital Ronell is a quintessential, and even better, palpably ironic, example.
