Non-intentional modes of consciousness in phenomenology: affectivity, imagination, unconscious, embodiment


Throughout the long history of phenomenology, alongside intentional modes of consciousness, so-called non-intentional forms of consciousness have played an increasingly significant role: affectivity, fantasy, unconscious, embodiment, etc. The main aim of the conference is to provide an overview of past and contemporary research of non-intentional forms of conscious functioning.
Suggested topics:
• embodiment, bodily existence, bodily memory
• affectivity, emotions, existential moods
• phenomenological unconscious, association, passive syntheses
• psychology, psychoanalysis and phenomenology
• phenomenology and cognitive sciences
• intersubjectivity, culture, sociality
• understanding, interpretation, narrativity
The conference is organized by the "Research Group on Non-Intentional Forms of Consciousness" at the Institute of Philosophy, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest.
