ABSTRACT

This conclusion addresses the importance of the knowings of the body for understanding the styles individuals have for exerting self-consciousness and experiencing selfhood, what contribute for the emergence of specific archetypal affects and themes in their lives. In this sense, it portrays the cognitive interpretation aimed at the phenomenology of affects and their effects as the possibility for clarifying conditioned unconscious biases in the hermeneutical approach to the self, accentuating that, from this analysis, actions that startle the usual ways of being of the individual must be performed. It takes this ‘transgression’ in acting as the founder and the carrier of the alternative images that lead to the perception of one and others through a renewed consciousness. It also emphasises that, in embodying an ambiguous approach to the meaning given to the emergence of affects and the emotional inclinations they fuel, that comes from respecting the dual-aspect monism that sustains the experiences the individual engages with in life and takes the body as a knower of the reasons for certain identifications and recognitions, and of their not necessary repetition, true differentiation for the indeterminate multiplicity of signified meanings for affects, actions, and thoughts can be envisioned, and integration holistically understood.
