A person lives a different psychological life in different circumstances and circumstances, so he feels joy once again and feels sad and once feels pleasure and pain again, so if it is the feeling that makes us aware of our psychological conditions, does this feeling inform us of the psychological conditions that are within us and are reflected on our behavior, and our psychological life here is a subject Clear to us? Or is there another aspect that we are not aware of?
In other words, is everything that myself is necessarily my feeling?
The French philosopher “Laland” defines the feeling that “the intuition of thought about his conditions and actions” and the feeling of this definition is the awareness that always accompanies us when doing any work. This is how the ideas of the classical school were founded on this opinion led by the French philosopher “Descartes 1596/1650 ″ who made the feeling Basically and a lonely principle for explaining a person’s psychological life, psychological life is in his view equal to feeling and feeling equal to psychological life, the roots of this theory are due to Greek philosophy and specifically to the views of “Socrates 399/479 BC”, who believed that a person knows himself and can judge it and its conditions and actions. He expressed this by his famous saying, “Know yourself by yourself” and the same situation is found in the Cartesian cogito, which says “I am thinking, therefore I am.”
Descartes also believes that there is no psychological life outside of feeling except for the physiological life that has nothing to do with the human psyche Descartes says, “There is no psychological life outside of the soul except the life of physical physiology”. Just .
However, this position explains some aspects only and is incapable of explaining many other situations that a person is exposed to in his life. There is nothing that confirms that psychological life is all emotional and noticeable. There are many psychological and behavioral situations that a person is unable to explain according to the feeling and here it was necessary to Assuming another aspect that constitutes psychological life and this aspect is unconscious.Contrary to the first position, the Austrian neurologist “Sigmund Freud 1859/1936” assumed that there is another side that is more important than feeling and to him we can return most of our actions, which is “subconscious” which he defined as the set of behaviors that are issued by a person without awareness of him for his reasons and motives. In his view there are behaviors It is performed by any person who is unable to explain it. For example, slips of the pen, gestures of the tongue and dreams are nothing but expressions of this dark side of psychological life, which was considered to represent the bulk of psychological life, i.e. the largest aspect of it. essentially unconscious and expression caused by instinctThe pent-up nationality that he called “Libido” Freud says in this context, “The artist who draws an artistic painting is only an unconscious way to express his pent-up instinct.” The French psychologist “Charcot” has also indicated that there is a hidden side of psychological life that affects Human behavior
However, Freud's views, despite their importance and validity to some extent, were subjected to many criticisms even from the closest people to him, and his fanatical views regarding the control of the unconscious over a person's life lost him an important peculiarity, namely awareness and perception, so he made him captive to his instincts and repression, and he denied all will and freedom to choose, His daughter, “I am Freud,” and his student, Adler, were more than criticizing him on this aspect.
The consideration of psychological life is represented by feeling only in it a kind of neglect of an important aspect which is unconscious, as well as considering psychological life represented by unconsciousness only in it reducing the value of a person as a person with all its characteristics, and the right opinion is that the psychological life of a person can not be known and explained only by believing that the two sides together understand They complement to know the reality of the human soul and what is going on inside it, although this knowledge is somewhat limited.
Thus, we conclude at the end of our discussion of the problem of feeling as a way to know our psychological life. We stress the need to give priority to feeling in most cases, taking into account the presence of the unconscious side, which is appropriate to explain other cases, especially among psychiatric patients.
