ABSTRACT
A compulsive and uniform mechanism of consciousness produces an insight from the sensible lived-experiences and their associative connection. All symbolic thinking and perceiving amount to a mere negative act: an act that arises from the need and requirement for omission. A consciousness possessing sufficient scope and force to live in the individual details themselves and to apprehend them all immediately would not require the symbolic formations of unity; it would be completely “presentative,” instead of remaining representative in the whole or in individual parts. By “symbolic pregnance,” it means how a lived-perceptive-experience, as a “sensible” lived-experience, contains in itself at the same time a certain non-intuitive “sense” and brings it to immediate concrete presentation. It is not a question of naked “perceptive” givennesses, onto which some sort of “apperceptive” act is later grafted, through which they are interpreted, judged, transformed.
