ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the authors postulate non-consciousness as an existent mediate object, and indeed not only in the physical realm of nature, but also in the particular realm of being, which they call my mind. They discuss the unconscious mind as having unconscious ideas; but it has, in fact, much else besides these unconscious ideas. In ordinary language, conscious experience as one realm of being has got to be placed in some form of connected relation with the other realm of being called nature. The reader, who has closely followed the reasoning which leads to the concepts mind and nature, will realize that there are three sides, and a reader who does not do more than distinguish simply consciousness and non-consciousness must admit at any rate that there are two.
