How powerful and significant is the unconscious mind?

The Phenomenological Realism of the Possible Worlds: The ‘A Priori’, Activity and Passivity of Consciousness, Phenomenology and Nature Papers and Debate of the Second International Conference Held by the International Husserl and Phenomenological Research Society New York, N. Y., September 4–9, 1972 (Analecta Husserliana)

edited by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka

Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka / Imaginatio Creatrix: the creative versus the constitutive function of man, and the possible worlds

  1. Human being appears as the major dynamic factor within this system not only with the respect to the progress onwards but also at the level of introducing the essential and basic level of meaning through the structurizing work of his consciousness.
  1. the cognitive object and the cognitive act ‘self-given’ presence
  2. imagination and expectation, the flow through which - as it seems
  3. revindicating the basic role of the impulsive, emotive and affective dimensions of the passions

Those quotes by tymieniecka are basically just different ways of cognitive functioning - there is sensations, imaginaitons and expectations, and impusive drives, emotional drives, and affective drives - I would assume an affective drive differs from an emotional drive in that the affective is what is expressed and the emotional could be hidden and more unconscious. ‘Revindicating’ could mean the conscious mind reanalyzing and affirming the passions and tensions of the unconscious.

Mary Rose Barral / Continuity in the perceptual process:

  1. but should we expect that phenomenology open to us every door?
  1. this will therefore lessen the chance of witnessing a truly original perceptive experience which it may be possible to investigate phenomenologically, without presuppositions.

Those two quotes were separate in her article - but it brings up the question - what is an ‘orignial perspecitive’? There can be conscious perspectives and unconscious perspecitves - how the mind views the world conscoiusly is completely different from how it sees the world unconscoiusly - what does that mean anyway - for consciousness to ‘see’ something? Barral described it as a ‘perceptual process’ or an ‘original perspectie experience’’ that you can ‘invesiigate phenomenologically without presuppositions’. However the conscious mind always slants or views life differenly from the unconscious mind - a persons unconscious mind is basically a different being from who they understand themselves to be.

Mario Sancripriano - The activity of consciousness - Husserl and berguson

He is referring to writing by husserl

  1. The central chapter of Erfahrung and Urteil is dedicated to the general structure of the predication and to the genesis of the principle categorical forms. The detailed examination of the 'relation' has predisposed the reader to the most imtimate process whereby concscouness rises from interests in perception to analysis of predicative activity in general in its diverse modalities and in its objective reference, to the comprehension of the same modalities (departing from their costituent origins) as modes of defining to themselves the ego. This analysis brings us nearer to amore accurate apporoximation to things, insofar as it may be conceded where the object was placed at a certain 'visual distance'. The full resoluation of the cognitive tensions is thereby brought about.
