"Self" as something more than the sum of the mind, body, and cerebrum

Updated: Dec 22, 2020

Neuropsychology, the connectionist models of language and the function of cortical lobes, show that linguistics is closely related to the ontological monitoring of the world. The ontological structuring in human memory and lobes relates to the use of the motor, somatosensory, spatial awareness, and planning abilities.


Logos and eros as defined in philosophy and psychoanalysis aren't identified only with logic, or the linguistic potential, but with the existential meaning of life and the dialectical opening to the structure of every being, keeping the sexual drives and instincts embodied and integral (employing sublimation as a mature defense mechanism).


Eros and logos are conceptualized in a new manner by Jung, Freud, and Lacan, through interpreting great philosophers like Socrates, Heraclitus, Aristotle, Shopenhauer, Immanuel Kant, and Nietzsche. Human perception arises from the reveal of "Whole" human, the knowledge that exists beyond good &evil, and the conception of self as something more than the sum of the mind, body, and cerebrum.


The acquisition of a higher cognitive potential through applying the analytic philosophy today as the A.I Philosopher John Haugeland analyzes in his books, Dasein Disclosed: John Haugeland’s Heidegger, and Having Thought: Essays in the Metaphysics of Mind, can be reached while becoming a mediator in life between microcosm and macrocosm, acquiring the right knowledge about the design of mind, body, and cognition.
