| Description | The article deals with the development of philosophical thought of W. James. Its first part is devoted to James conception of mind and consciousness. The article gives also an analysis of James theory of the selective interest as determining the experience. The last part of the essay shows that by legitimating the existence of a subconscious Self and the psychic processes outside the primary consciousness, W. James anticipated the psychoanalytical conceptions of human knowledge as well as C.G. Jung paradigm of the primary archetypes of Selbst and individuation. |
