2.2Human Psyche of Modern Man and Wordsworth 2.2.1The psyche Jung writes: ‘By psyche I comprehend the entirety of all psychic processes, cognizant as well as uncognizant’, (CW6 para 797) hence we use the word ‘psyche’ rather than ‘mind’, since mind is used in common parlance to refer to the aspects of mental functioning which are conscious. Jung maintained that the psyche is a self-regulating system (like the body). The psyche strives to maintain a balance between opposing qualities while at the

In this paper, I will illustrate my personal experience within the past few months by using my individual creations—i.e. dreams, active imaginings, and a few paintings. This experience is an ongoing process that allows me to look at the images carefully, take note of my feelings, journal freely, reflect, and analyze my creations and process using basic Jungian concepts, ultimately noticing the changes in myself. A few months ago, through active imagination, I painted a graveyard with green grasses

Personal Identity A prevalent idea that is not only discussed frequently in the field of philosophy but is also bound to make an appearance in everyone’s wandering thoughts is the concept of personal Identity. Who am I? What is it to be a person? How can one perceive a one’s existence in time? All these and more are common questions that can blindside someone’s casual daydream and force them down the rabbit hole of philosophy. Intellectuals from all around the world have pondered this conception

A part of this includes our memory, which is not always part of consciousness but can be retrieved easily at any time and brought into our awareness.

that the mind and the body are separate entities, but yet interconnected, the body a physical, extended material is dependent on the intellectual operations of the mind which is a nonphysical material with the ability to reason and think, and the consciousness to know that he is thinking. He concludes by arguing that the idea within him of God, not only confirm his existence as a thinking being, but also confirms that there must be a referent, outside of the mind (God) from whom the true essence of the

1. Historical Determinism Fredrick Hegel’s philosophy initially defined historical determinism and strongly influenced Germany and Karl Marx. Hegel is highly recognized for his ideas of Geist and human progression over generations with raised consciousness (Twelve Theories). With this view, he saw that throughout history humans had advanced mentally and culturally to reach full development. With his various works, Hegel influenced many readers and lead to the division of historical determinists.

Philosophers say the key to understanding human life is answering the really philosophical questions such as why are we here? Where did we come from? Where will we go? And so on and so forth. This has truly been a debate for the ages in philosophy, one that has stimulated thinkers, philosophers, theologists and scientists for thousands of years, hence led emergence of idealism and realism as two major traditional philosophical schools of thought in the realm of philosophy. So this paper projects
