Mind and Language
Primitives: feeling, sense, awareness, consciousness, conscience, self-consciousness, consciousness of consciousness, emotion: simple, consciousness: element of, pain, joy, mind, feeling, impression, structure of consciousness, self-referentiality, unconscious, peripheral processes, scanning, primitive-feeling, perception, concepts and meaning, memory, solipsism
Function and integration: dimensions of feeling, bound-free, internal-external, memory, afferent-efferent, state-disposition, layered organization, atomism-holism, focus-background, center-periphery, integration-independence, modularity-integration: holism: part-whole, feeling: modalities of: feeling: quality and intensity, feeling: shape and quantity, feeling: direction of: attraction / repulsion: pleasure / pain, feeling: tenor: mood: uni-directional or fluctuating, function: modalities: integration: feeling: drive: internal-bound, sense: perception: external-bound, emotion: primitive: internal – free + bound, thought: pure: external – free + bound, cognition-emotion-drive: external + internal – free + bound: isolation of – denied: feeling-motivation-cognition: an integrated system, problem of binding, problem of object constancy, axes for mental phenomena: experience: attitude: action, examples of attitudes: knowledge: belief: desire, omnivalent interpretation of belief, categories of intuition: the elements of intuition, existential: being: becoming: being-in, humor, physical: space: time: causation: indeterminism: humor, biological: life forms, psychological or psychosocial: image-concept: icon-symbol: emotion: humor: communication: value: identity
Development: integration over time, sign and symbol, language, learning, personality and meaning, individual and society, meaning, commitments and purpose, love, personality and identity, identity in being may give arching significance to lesser being, problem of binding , integration, dissolution, factors for the psychology of the person as a whole: traditional personality factors: Jungian: Freudian: Eriksonian: Ayurvedic, ‘hardwiring’ issues: biological including neurological and endocrine, group or social factors, some specific factors: perceiving vs. judging, intuitive vs. sensing, analytic vs. synthetic – not one of Jung’s original factors, feeling vs. thinking, introvert vs. extravert, inertia vs. mobility, symbol and value as a proximate account of being
Exceptional achievement and disorder: disorder: functional and personality, systemic vs. localized, vs. correlates of extremes, vs. degeneration, vs. environmental origin, psychiatry, subjective criteria, functional criteria, trait, exceptional achievement: relation to disorder is partial: lateral: causal, step-wise dependence of performance on raw ability, integration of the functions: especially intuition and thought, integration of personality: commitments and consistency
Language: an aspect of analytic and social development, language: function: cognition and communication, iconic thought, symbolic thought, art and drama, speech, speech act, propositional attitude, attitude, belief, desire, language and thought, thought and logic, generalized concept of language: acting-drama-literature-art-music, free symbol: foundation of knowledge: logic and culture, concepts: – common: as-intuited: as-initially-experienced: intuitive: open: slack: tight: tentative: transitional: experimental: extended to the root or ultimate: primal: primitive: as-I-experience-it: as-I-initially-experience-it: fluid: flat: empty: shallow: degraded: secularized: meaning: use: extension / reference: intension / sense: field or system of concepts, uses of language: concepts, attitudes, metaphor and other non-literal uses, bewitchment of intelligence, bewitchment of critical thought, it is as if language creates a universe of its own
