A couple of philosophers who leap to mind, despite my not knowing their works particularly well, are Herder and Hegel.
Herder was interested in language, folklore and culture.
Hegel is into (is probably the first to attempt systematically) philosophy of history. I'm not aware of any direct connection because I haven't studied either in depth, but it seems plausible that his notion of absolute spirit is echoed in Jung's collective unconscious.
