Abstract

The author analyzes relation of the conscious and the unconscious through definition of their dialectic unity. The dialectics of the conscious and the unconscious penetrates all spheres of human activity, however academic issue of relation between the conscious and the unconscious remains not deeply developed. The dialectics of the conscious and the unconscious in the content of subjective reality is important for understanding of many phenomena of public and individual consciousness, such as formation of stereotypes, social installations, prejudices, features of mythological thinking; this understanding is characteristic not only to the past epochs, but also to a modern person. The Conscious and the unconscious as expression of unity of the opposite sides of subjective reality, differ with the nature of their realization, real forms of existence and manifestation. Themain differentiating signs of the conscious and the unconscious are reflected/not reflected, representation/lack of representation in the field of relevant attention, verbal/nonverbal form of expression, prevalence of conceptual or figurative, formalizability/not formalizability and others. The author reflects on the concept of publicthe unconscious, that differs from collective the unconscious. Public the unconscious is possible to consider as a product of transformation of individual and mental the unconscious. It represents not only a psychological phenomenon, but acquires a distinguishable sociohistorical connotation. In public the unconscious the individual is always considered as the proprium, as a complex of requirements, interests, determinations, that are social by nature.
