Human relations and the unconscious.

Abstract

HUMAN RELATIONS AND THE UNCONSCIOUSTHE AIM of this little book is merely to establish the smallest foothold in the swamp of vagueness which now goes by the name of the unconscious.

It is that active spontaneity which rouses in each individual organism at the moment of fusion of the parent nuclei, and which, in polarized connection with the external universe, gradually evolves or elaborates its own individual psyche and corpus, bringing both mind and body forth from itself. Thus it would seem that the term unconscious is only another word for life. But life is a general force, whereas the unconscious is essentially single and unique 102
