Self, Person, World: Interplay of Conscious and Unconscious in Human Life

Self, Person, World presents a synoptic survey of human life in its personal, social, and mythic dimensions, drawing on sources such as Freud, Weber, Husserl, and recent work in cognitive and developmental psychology. Donald McIntosh's premise is that no major aspect of human life can be understood adequately except in the context of the whole. His central theme is the pervasive intermingling and interaction between conscious and unconscious levels of thought and awareness.
