Daniel Müller - Two Paradigms of The Unconscious - And What They Might Tell Us About Consciousness

Much effort has been put into understanding consciousness, however, we might have to take a different angle and direct our attention to the unconscious as the complementary concept which helps us delineate and better understand consciousness. Two paradigms are currently fashionable in the philosophy of the unconscious: the first is the notion of the unconscious of Neo-Freudian scholars which holds that repressed desires drive many of our actions, navigating us from our unconscious with us only in charge of rationalising our actions after the fact. The second is one notion from dual-process theories of cognition so-called type 1 thinking is automatic, quick, unconscious cognition which in turn is error-prone and leads to biases. Using the intersection of these different paradigms as a minimal theory of the unconscious might give us some novel insights fruitful for the framework of the scientific study of consciousness. In particular, they might sharpen the concept of consciousness and give us a better grip on what sets apart conscious and unconscious processing and might inform us on the preconscious in between. Particularly since the contrastive analysis is a frequently employed paradigm in the (neuro-)science of consciousness, an investigation into what constitutes the unconscious might be helpful.
