Notas para uma reflexão sobre consciência e inconsciente na fenomenologia

Abstract

The article proposes to discuss the concepts of the unconscious and conscience, from a phenomenological reference. Starting from the metaphor of a semantic analysis of the word “unconscious”, seek to develop reflections around its significance, making a contraposition with “awareness” and “conscious”. In this sense, still permeates the ideas of structure and process, as well as act and content, in the direction of the distinction between substantive and adjective. As analogy, take some ideas of Theodor Lipps in respect of the unconscious, as an entry to the subject of conscience in phenomenology using psychopathology and the criticism of Merleau-Ponty about the idea of interiority in psychology, to defend, finally, the idea of a conscience as position of the subject in the world, and affirm the phenomenology as a phenomenology of conscience in the world.
