Introduction: Mapping the contrasts and parallels between the conscious and unconscious mind

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Unconscious states, if they are presumed by a theory at all, lack the defining features of the conscious ones. Yet the more we learn about unconscious states and processes, the more intricate an image of this part of mind is revealed, often leading to surprising discoveries. In many domains, unconscious states turn out to be richer and more complex than previously thought, often coming indistinguishably close to their conscious counterparts. If that is so, implications for theories of consciousness are forthcoming. The more work on creating mental content is done unconsciously, the less is demanded of consciousness. Perhaps, then, we should not assume that consciousness is fulfilling all those tasks that were traditionally assigned to it. Instead of a maximal strategy that considers consciousness as a tool that creates, structures, and endows contents with various properties, one could explore less demanding roles for it. In its extreme form, consciousness could be regarded as playing one role only— that of making the already prepared and fully determined contents conscious.
