Abstract:

Voluntary simplicity is one of the desired lifestyle that modern consumers wants to live. But, becoming voluntary simplifiers is not an easy task. There are several ways of becoming voluntary simplifiers and one of the common way is buying second hand products. Purchase intension of second hand consumers is maintained by consumers’ conscious and unconscious mind. Unconscious mind mainly decide whether a consumer will go for the second hand product or not? In this study, consumers of Sweden and Bangladesh has been focused to check their purchase intension of second hand product that unconsciously move them to become voluntary simplifiers. From the Netnographic observation, it has been found that, Bangladeshi consumers are more voluntary simplifiers than that of Swedish consumers because of their unconscious mind.

Abstract:

A metaphor that comes into a therapist's mind is a product of two minds, therapist and client, who are both unconsciously working together. The therapeutic metaphor is thus a co-creation, emerging from the therapist's perception of co-unconscious communication. This paper describes the use of psychodramatic techniques to illustrate the therapeutic use of metaphor.

Abstract:

AbstractThere is an emerging consensus among interpreters that in his Critical writings Kant ascribes unconscious representations to the mind. The nature and extent of this ascription over the course of Kant’s philosophical development is however not well understood. I argue that from his earliest published writings Kant consistently ascribes unconscious representations to the mind; that some of these representations are unconscious in the strong sense that they are not available to introspection; and that Kant extends his commitment to unconscious representations by ascribing to the mind unconscious acts of judging and reasoning.

Abstract:

Intention is a most difficult and illusory mental process. It is our contention that the law would become more functional and less convoluted (while not decreasing injustice) by abandoning distinctions based on this unprofitable phantasm. To this end, we first offer a paradigmatic definition of intention against which we survey its philosophical meaning and explore its boundaries. We examine the possibility that seemingly unintentional acts are, in fact, generated by the deliberations of the unconscious mind. We explore the consequences of bringing the jurisprudential concept of intention into harmony with Freudian doctrine. This, we conclude, necessitates expanding criminal and civil liability for one's actions from those called intentional under the current definition to include also those actions intentionally generated by the unconscious mind. Whatever benefit there is to society in holding one liable for consciously intentional acts extends, correspondingly, to unconsciously intentional acts as well. We explain how this may be done in practice.

Abstract:

In his novel "The Golovlyov Family" Saltykov-Shchedrin creates the image of the protagonist, whose behavior and the peculiarities of interior life coincide with the description of mind structure and interior life dynamics of a person in Freud's psychoanalysis. Examining the mechanism of unconscious lie Saltykov-Shchedrin shows how a person who is unconsciously lying to himself can start living in a world of fantasy and even come to necessity to eliminate any ideas about real life. Dostoevsky in "Notes from Underground" considers that an unconscious liar lost in the labyrinths of his own lies can end up losing the sense of self.

Abstract:

This paper delves into the concepts of consciousness, sub-consciousness, and unconscious mind, as well as Id, ego, and superego levels of mind, defense mechanisms, and educational implications of Freudian theory. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce Freud's psychoanalytic theory and to search for the educational implications of psychoanalysis theory in the present Nepalese context. Freudian theory studies how potent inner forces of "libido" and psychic energy influence human behaviour. Two types of instincts: life instinct or sex/Eros and death instincts aggression/Thanatos, lead an individual's behaviour. This paper introduces psychosexual stages. The unconscious mind continues to influence human behavior, even though we are unaware of these underlying influences. Most activities are led by the unconscious mind, which are mostly stressful. It can be reduced by defense mechanisms.

Abstract:

This paper pursues to interpret Heidegger’s hermeneutics as Philosophy of Mind through Yogacara Thought. A famous korean professors’ study is referred in order to arrive at the goal of this study. At first, Yogacara thought is a critical hypothesis between Realism of Hinayana Buddhism and Deconstruction of Mahayana Buddhism. According to Yogacara thought, awareness of phenomena is a transformation of awareness of mind, so there is just consciousness only. In other words, there are eight consciousnesses in our mind, but all consciousnesses are derivatives of Alaya consciousness which covers all potentiality in our mind. Therefore, we can say that Yogacara thought is a mind philosophy. Heidegger’s ontology of Dasein can be understood in the point of view with Yogacara thought very well. Forgetness of Being(Seinsvergessenheit) can be understood as forgetness of Mind, and it leads us to understand the meaning of Being-there(Dasein) and it’s ontological structure. That is, the ontological way of Being-there is a transformation of unconscious mind because existential structure of Being-there can be interpreted as unconscious mind of Alaya consciousness. To conclude, Heidegger’s hermeneutics can be interpreted as a mind philosophy because Heidegger’s ontological fact can be understood Alaya’s unconscious fact.

Abstract:

A psychoanalyst is said to provide the real explanation of a person's behaviour; an explanation which the person has arrived at with the help of a psychoanalyst. The person was not aware of the real character of his behaviour. It may have exhibited unconscious thoughts, beliefs, motives, intentions and emotions. In his paper ‘The Unconscious’, in Mind 1959, Ilham Dilman says, ‘What those who talked of “Freud's discovery of the unconscious” had in mind is a group of innovations which “the founder of psycho-analysis” brought to bear on the study of the human mind’ (p.446). I have ten questions concerning the relation of this ‘group of innovations’ to human behaviour.

Abstract:

This research looks at the psychoanalytical interpretation of Jack’s attempts to grab power in the light of Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytical theory. Psychoanalysis of Jack gives a clear reflection of his mind’s unconscious working. Implicit id-dominated psychic patterns mainly construct his mind. Thus, the psychoanalytical lens of criticism lays a platform to delve deep into Jack’s unconscious makeup of mind as portrayed in the novel bringing out the understanding of his actions. The psychoanalytical study of Jack reveals the enormous impact of the id on Jack on Jack, who grows into becoming a symbol of lust for power, chaos, and savagery. This research focuses on the application of psychoanalytical theory to dive deep into the depth of Jack’s unconscious mind.

Abstract:

A woman (LR), unconscious for 20 years, spontaneously produces infrequent, isolated words unrelated to any environmental context. Fluorodeoxy-glucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging coregistered with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a mean brain metabolism equivalent to deep anesthesia. Nevertheless, PET imaging demonstrated islands of modestly higher metabolism that included Broca's and Wernicke's areas. Functional brain imaging with magnetoencephalographic (MEG) imaging, a technique providing a temporal resolution of better than 1 msec, identified preserved dynamic patterns of spontaneous and evoked brain activity in response to sensory stimulation. Specifically, we examined spontaneous gamma-band activity (near 40 Hz) and its reset or modification during early auditory processing, a measure that correlates with human perception of sensory stimuli (Joliot, Ribary, & Llinás, 1994). Evidence of abnormal and incomplete gamma-band responses appeared in the left hemisphere only in response to auditory or somatosensory stimulation. MEG single-dipole reconstructions localized to the auditory cortex in the left hemisphere and overlapped with metabolically active regions identified by FDG-PET. The observation demonstrates that isolated neuronal groups may express well-defined fragments of activity in a severely damaged, unconscious brain. The motor fixed-action pattern character of her expressed words supports the notion of brain modularity in word generation.

Abstract:

The unconscious is a central concept in psychoanalysis, and alaya-consciousness is a central concept in Buddhism. Although the unconscious is not a dominate concept in Western philosophy and psychology, there is a great deal of correspondence between the unconscious in psychoanalysis and alaya-consciousness in Buddhism. Psychoanalysis and Buddhism agree that the conscious is only a small part of the human mind, and that the vast majority of it is not the conscious. The compatibility of the unconscious in psychoanalysis and alaya-consciousness in Buddhism provides an important way to localise psychoanalysis in China. The Buddhist theory of alaya-consciousness is deeper and more systematic than the psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious, and this difference also provides the possibility of improving theory and technology of psychoanalysis from a Buddhist perspective. In addition, the integration of Buddhism and psychoanalysis is an important way to modernise Buddhism.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractThere seems to be wide acceptance by both professionals and lay people that hypnotic and especially hypnotherapeutic responding is based on the long-standing but still hypothetical dichotomy between the conscious and unconscious minds. In this simplistic view, hypnotic suggestions are considered to bypass consciousness to reach the unconscious mind, there to have the intended effect. This article reports on a single-case experiment investigating the involvement of the unconscious in hypnotherapeutic responding. In this case the subject responded positively to suggestions that could not have reached the unconscious, indicating that the unconscious was not involved in such responding. An alternative view is proposed, namely that hypnotherapeutic responding involves a cognitive process in which a socially constructed new understanding of the problem behaviour and of hypnosis, based on the client's existing attribution of meaning, is followed by action considered appropriate to the new understanding and which then confirms this understanding, leading to behaviour change.

Abstract:

This paper is the third in a series of investigations into (1) the nature and development of unconscious fantasy, (2) its place in a contemporary model of mind that, parenthetically, suggests a possible solution to the problem of theoretical pluralism, and (3) its mode of operation in the mind. The aim of these investigations is to update the notion of unconscious fantasy, an indispensable construct in psychoanalytic theories that assume out-of-awareness mentation, and to situate that construct within contemporary views of mental functioning in disciplines such as philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and developmental psychology. At the same time, data accessible only through psychoanalytic work challenge these fields with findings that indicate the need for further investigation. This paper argues that experimental evidence on the phenomenon of “priming” lends support to one of the seminal claims in our field, one frequently attacked as an outmoded shibboleth: that is, that the past matters, whether encoded in declarative or in procedural memory. In common parlance, we are “primed” to respond to some situations in predetermined ways; the past primes us to experience the present in often unique and personal ways. There is evidence too that the priming mechanism and the encoding of subjective experience in declarative and procedural memory operate from very early in life.

Abstract:

The paper examines fluctuations between conscious and unconscious modes of mind functioning as outlined in Melanie Klein’s interpretation of Magic Word (Klein, 1929/1948), using the double lens of psychoanalytic and semiotic concepts of symbol. The study aims to explore the process of transformation that takes place in conscious and unconscious parts of the mind, when the mind overcomes maniac defences and is confronted with core depressive recognition: a truth about separateness of individual, and all anxieties it arouses. The examination of conscious aspects of depressive position will be performed through the prism of Charles Peirce (1998) semiotic, while unconscious content will be explored according to Melanie Klein psychoanalysis. The results of the study reveal, that employment of psychoanalytic and semiotic perspective simultaneously, when examining dynamics of psychic position, allows to break down the process to smaller, but still explorable sequences. Such approach allows not only to study most distinctive elements of the position but also to track dependencies that occur between them in time on both conscious and unconscious level. Moreover breaking down depressive dynamic to the smaller sequences facilitates more careful monitoring of the disturbing influence of unconscious to consciousness when psychotic response picks up. Similarly, sequential view enables more precise identification of the point when triangle space returns, and so facilitates analysis of conditions associated with that important change.

Abstract:

Consciousness and its relation to the unconscious mind have long been debated in philosophy. I develop the thesis that consciousness and its contents reflect the highest elaboration of a set of abilities to respond to the environment realized in more primitive organisms and brain circuits. The contents of the states lesser than consciousness are, however, intrinsically dubious and indeterminate as it is the role of the discursive skills we use to construct conscious contents that lends articulation and clarity to the mental acts which cumulatively make up our mental lives. I lay out a tripartite structure for the formation of mind in which the ongoing interaction between brain and world, the formative effect of socio-cultural context and the self production of a relatively coherent narrative all play an important part in making a mind. The latter two influences clearly transcend biological science and suggest that human minds have features which broadly align with certain Freudian insights but do not support the reification of the causally structured unconscious that Freud envisaged.

Abstract:

Reflex Yoga is based on the observation that the unconscious mind has far greater control of behavior, posture and breathing than the conscious mind. There is an immense amount of unconscious activity involved in standing, sitting and breathing. With perseverance we can "stand up straight" and "breathe deeply and evenly," and these instructions can be internalized and habitualized. But we must ask if this is the purpose and goal of yoga, even when backed by scientific research and traditional authority.

Full text

Abstract:

Quantum nonlocality is described in the context of a subjective duration that has a period of unconscious simultaneity of potentials that are reduced to an actual observably-identical mixed state of consciousness that deposits time and duration at the end of the mental state. Quantum microgenesis involves the observer as the agent of experience, which is a single continuum from depth to surface in the genesis of the mental state, repeating prior states of the individual. Microgenesis is generalized as prior becomings going back to the inception of the Universe. Synchronicity is the fundamental principle of Mind, Self, and consciousness. Mind is always One, which cannot be multiplied. Synchronicity is beyond any process of inanimate quantum nonlocality. It is outside of the physics, as Mind is based on the actualization of the mixed state of the human mind rather than the single quantum eigenstate given by the physics. Consciousness is thus a process of an irreducible and indivisible Mind in ourselves and the acausal realm of synchronicity. The mental-physical process evolves from the unconscious subjective time in the period of simultaneity, proceeding to the actuality of the mixed state of consciousness through synchronicity in its operative role as manifestation of Mind. Periods of unconscious duration and simultaneity exist as potential and only become actual at the synchronous moment of conscious observation at the end of the cyclical mental state.

Abstract:

Aim. The foundation of symbolization is a substitution: a mediation between a Representamen and Object. The paper leverages this core mechanic to examine the substitutions within the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind, which compose every act of thinking. Recognizing it is a single instance: the Ego, which regulates this parallel mediation, the paper focuses on the exploration of dichotomies that result from the necessity to perform two symbolizations simultaneously. Concepts. The study’s theoretical framework is determined by Charles S. Peirce’s (1998) concept of sign and Melanie Klein’s (1948) psychoanalytic theory. From semiotic and psychoanalytic angles, this paper explores possible comprehensions of the object in the quasi-mind (Interpretant in infinite semiosis) and actual realization of code in the act of individual thinking (Ego mediating between conscious and unconscious symbolization). Results and conclusion. The main result of the study is the exposure of dichotomies that structure the shared ground for the conscious and the unconscious symbolization. This, in turn, highlights tangible constraints that the mind is subjected to in the act of thinking. Cognitive value. The study’s main contribution is the high-level scheme of dynamics that hold the Ego in reality through the means of unconscious and conscious symbolization. The study also incorporates into coherent model unexamined aspects of individual sign usage: it deploys psychic continuity into the conscious symbolization process (by basing the model on the instance of Ego), which allows addressing the issues arising at the border of conscious and unconscious symbolization.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractThe early Schelling and the romantics constructed the unconscious in order to overcome the modern split between subjectivity and nature, mind and body, a split legislated by Cartesian representationalism. Influenced by Boehme and Kabbalah, the later Schelling modified his notion of the unconscious to include the decision to be oneself, which must sink beneath consciousness so that it might serve as the ground of one’s creative and personal acts. Slavoj Zizek has read the later Schelling’s unconscious as a prototype of Lacan’s reactive unconscious, an unconscious that only exists as the excluded other of consciousness. This reading, though close to the text of Schelling, misses something essential: the unconscious for Schelling is not a repression but a condition of the possibility of life and love.

Abstract:

This analysis investigated the application of psychoanalytic theory to unveil the unconscious motivations and inner struggles within characters of contemporary Philippine short stories. Inspired by Freud's concept of the unconscious mind, the study examined how seemingly trivial actions, dreams, and dialogue exposed hidden desires and conflicts. It further explored how characters grapple with past traumas, a core concept in psychoanalysis. This analysis employed a direct content analysis approach to explore how contemporary Philippine short stories depict unconscious conflicts, desires, and traumas. The concise format of short stories was advantageous, allowing for a focused examination of characters' inner lives and the subtle clues revealing hidden desires, conflicts, and fears. Purposive sampling identified works that demonstrably engaged with these themes. A close reading of the chosen stories followed, meticulously examining the text for key elements and recurring patterns. Thematic analysis techniques were then used to identify and analyze these recurring themes. Literary devices like dreams, symbols, and free indirect discourse were pinpointed within the stories, as they offer insights into unconscious motivations. Researchers then analyzed how these devices connect to relevant psychoanalytic concepts, including Freudian theory of the unconscious, unresolved traumas, and defense mechanisms. Recognizing the study's focus on the Philippines, the analysis likely considered the influence of societal expectations and traditions on the characters' unconscious conflicts. This involved examining how the specific cultural context shapes the stories' portrayals of the unconscious mind. By examining language, dreams, fantasies, and behaviors, psychoanalytic therapy sheds light on underlying conflicts, desires, and defense mechanisms influencing an individual's psychology. This study focused specifically on three elements of the unconscious: conflicts, desires, and traumas. Analyzing literary works demonstrated how these unconscious forces significantly impact thoughts, feelings, and actions. However, the analysis acknowledged limitations such as subjective interpretations and confirmation bias. Further research exploring other aspects of the unconscious offered a more comprehensive understanding of these complex dynamics.

Abstract:

In the world of digital video games, human players are present through surrogates. Surrogates in the video game is a character which also called by the term avatar which is a self-representation of real players. The presence of avatars in role playing games are formed through a process of creation by the gamer. The production of avatars cannot be separated from the unconscious mind of the players, the unconscious desire, ego and ideology. This avatar creation process continues ongoing, following the progress of the video game story. The decision, the path, and the act that the player take in completing the story are gradually reshaping the avatar. In the end, the avatar eventually became a manifestation and reflection of the unconscious minds of the video game players. This research conducted using ethnography and Jacques Lacan psychoanalysis theory.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT:The nature of the human mind is addressed from a neurological viewpoint. First from reported observations on subjects born blind with congenital cataract, who acquired vision after surgery, the concept of the primacy of somatosensation is developed. Therefrom some principles of the organization of higher sensory functions in the dominant parietal, occipital and temporal lobes are deduced. Sentience is traced to somatosensation. Some characteristics of the mind and of thinking are described. The non-existence of the unconscious is inferred. The question of free will is approached. Using neurological experience it is demonstrated that a good case for operation of a free will is difficull to establish. Positing the absence of a free will may be beneficial in the analysis and management of behavior. Finally the opportunity to study the nature and mechanism of the emotions in clinical neurology is outlined.

Abstract:

Cognitive poetics theory regards metaphor as a significant mechanism in human unconscious cognitive processes for understanding abstract concepts and phenomena, which constitutes the essence of poetic expression. Poetic metaphors accentuate linguistic expression at the level of pure abstract concepts, transcending experiential and cultural limitations, and emerge as a significant wellspring for unconscious cognition and mind development. However, mind development cannot be exclusively reliant on metaphor, as abstract thinking arises from the interplay between rational agents and the objective external world through embodied cognition. Therefore, poetic metaphors and embodied cognition synergistically constitute a crucial constituent of mind development. This article aims to explicate that poetic metaphors, as a mode of concretely ideologizing through vivid imagery, serve as a vital mechanism for cognitive abstraction, the exploration of mental patterns, and the fostering of mind development. This is accomplished by leveraging bodily experience as a pivotal medium bridging the subject and object, as well as the internal mind and external world, thereby forging a potential pathway of abstract concept, poetic metaphor, embodied cognition, and mind development.

Abstract:

Consciousness refers to the continuous flow of thoughts, memories and awareness in the human mind. It covers a larger area of unrestricted mental activities. There are layers within layers in the human consciousness. This paper tends to show that there is no other controller of an individual but his or her own consciousness. The paper has been undertaken in hopes that the study would lead to a new knowledge and provide foundations or approaches to James Joyce, which would make his novels more understandable. It also examines how consciousness affects the characters’ participation in various activities. They are affected positively or negatively by their consciousness. Each of the layers of the human mind plays an important role in influencing and shaping human behavoiur. If a character does some work without thinking, he is unconsciously conscious. Events in memory are co-existed. They move backward and forward freely. Joyce’s novels are mimicry of mental activities going on in the minds of the characters: Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and Molly Bloom. The darker side of the mind is given more emphasis than the light side of our beings. He renders the ‘psyche’ or ‘soul’ of character accurately or truthfully. The interest shifts from the extrovert to introvert, from outer to inner. He tries to portray impressions flowing in conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind.

Abstract:

In addressing the shortcomings of computationalism, we should not throw the baby out with the bathwater. That consciousness is not merely an epiphenomenon with optional access to unconscious computations does not imply that unconscious computations, in the limited domain where they do occur (e.g., occipital transformations of visual data), cannot be reformulated in a way consistent with a self-organizational view

Abstract:

This study explored basic steps of active imagination and looked at related topics such as free association, imagination, signs and symbols in order to reveal the characteristics of Jung’s active imagination. According to the results of the exploration, active imagination is not a reductive way to understand the mental images that emerge from the unconscious. In active imagination a patient should go beyond a superficial understanding of her image and experience the transcendent power contained in that image. The key to active imagination is restraining the conscious waking mind from exerting influence on internal images as they unfold. There must be an effort to resonate the archetypal atmosphere in the unconscious. There must be an effort to challenge herself by conveying a message of humanity overflowing with images that goes beyond just trying to fulfill repressed impulses and memories hidden behind images. Active imagination intentionally seeks to relate to the contents of the unconscious. Its starting point is an image in the mind. Starting from the beginning to the unconscious power of the abyss, active imagination requires uncritical consciousness, amplification, constructive interpretation, and contact with the transcendent function inherent in the symbol.

Abstract:

This paper examines the Korean Buddhist monk Chinul's Chinsim chiksul (眞心直說) from the perspective of Carl Jung's analytic psychology. In the Chinsim chiksul(眞心直說) Chinul defines True Mind(眞心) and emphasizes what to do in order to realize True Mind(眞心). I began the discussion by noting that Chinul's concept of True Mind(眞心) is the same as the das Selbst (自己) in Jungian analytical psychology. Jung's unconscious Selbst is the same as Chinul's True Mind(眞心), which emphasizes human nature. The True Mind(眞心) is divided into the thing(体) and its functions(用), and the two have the principle of harmony, which is neither the same nor different. On the other hand, Jung's unconscious and conscious selves also have a duality that is neither the same nor different. In order to realize True Mind (眞心), Chinul suggests a number of practices, which I compare with Jungian psychology. I analyzed Chinul's practice of contemplation(覺察) and pause (休歇) from the perspective of psychology. Jungian active meditation is a type of practice that attains wholeness: while Chinul sought enlightenment through contemplation(覺察) and pause(休歇), Jung sought self-realization, through the consciousization of the unconscious and active meditation. At the end of the article, I compared and contrasted Chinul's path to enlightenment with Jung's path to self-realization. This paper shows that despite the differences between the Eastern and Western schools of thought, Chinul and Jungianism have the same perspective on human beings.

Abstract:

AbstractNewell & Shanks (N&S) carry out an extremely sharp and static distinction between conscious and unconscious decisions, ignoring a process that dynamically transfers decisions and actions between the conscious and unconscious domains of the mind: habitual decision making. We propose a new categorisation and discuss the main characteristics of this process from a philosophical and neuroscientific perspective.
