Kritik der integralen Vernunft — Band II

How can the unconscious be mapped systematically — not as a dark substrate, but as an articulated structure? Volume II of Johannes Heinrichs’ philosophical psychology carries the work from conscious enactment into the deeper layers of the psyche.

Where Volume I unfolds the grammar of the conscious faculties, Volume II draws the map of the unconscious — across three circles: the physical sub-conscious, the psychic unconscious as implicit consciousness, and the spiritual over-conscious.

The structure of this volume

• The soul-circle — the unconscious as implicit consciousness: self-consciousness, the life-body and its drives, the feeling-body, with an excursus on the forms of narcissism
• The spirit-circle of the over-conscious — over-conscious logical laws, the “grammar of feelings,” archetypes, cosmic and Logos consciousness, together with a reflexion-logical interpretation of mental disorders
• The body-circle of the sub-conscious — the three forms of memory and the relations of somatisation
• The social unconscious — the unconsciousness of system-formation in economy, politics, culture, and fundamental values; first foundations of a reflexion-systemic social psychology

In dialogue with C. G. Jung, Freud, Julian Jaynes, and the ancient doctrine of the elements, an integral theory of the psyche emerges that deepens the anthropological three-circle model ontologically.

“Taken as a whole, the two volumes are a work of outrageous brilliance […]: not something conclusive in every detail, but something immensely revealing.” — Philosophischer Literaturanzeiger 71/4/2018 (translated from the German)
