Is the I-function only the concious mind?

Submitted by maggie_simon on Mon, 02/11/2008 - 12:07am.

I would argue that even with the “I-function” it is still possible to be unaware or unconscious of certain things that we do or think.  These are, after all, related to the unconsciousness that Sophie F reflects on below.  How does the “I-function” account for unconscious processes of the mind?  Are there more input/output boxes within the “I-function”?  Or perhaps, the “I-function” is an input/output box within the unconscious mind.  (Basically the question is whether the mind is more unconscious or more conscious.)
