You seem to be having a stimulating conference. <br /><br />I’m re-reading <i>Matter and Memory</i> by Henri Bergson at the moment and finding that his special understanding of terms like ‘representation’, ‘image’, ‘perception’, is different from the common Realist/Idealist menu that one is used to. And yet they point towards the same areas or problem fields. It is his way of trying to subvert or supplant.<br /><br />‘manas’ does not stand alone but in the relation manas/buddhi/citta //ahamkara constellation and so forth. Its intrinsic nature is inert/unconscious but as an existent entity it is always pervaded by consciousness. In that way it shares enough with ‘mind’ to be a common point of departure. Manas could be used as a technical term but it probably would have to be explained via known concepts anyway. ombhurbhuvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789523088428270027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781646534201708629.post-29454082165150438282014-08-25T01:25:27.669+01:002014-08-25T01:25:27.669+01:00Skholiast: As you well know people have wrestled ...Skholiast: As you well know people have wrestled with the concept of the Freudian unconscious mind and discovered rational paradoxes in it.
