The articles focuses on the role of memory in the project of experiential metaphysics and offers a critical analysis of Edward Abramowski's philosophy. In the framework of that undertaking memory has been characterised and defined by its relation to unconsciousness and perception. Essentially memory is presented as a necessary condition for the agnostic experience which is the foundation of experiential metaphysics. Following Abramowski the author presents latent memory as a factor that determines human individuals. Moreover, if the results of experiential metaphysics are followed all the way, memory can be interpreted as the basis for ethics, aesthetics and religion.

The study focuses on the subject that Levi-Strauss never devoted himself to in a systematic way. The essence of his view on the urban space can be found in few pages of his travel book 'Tristes Tropiques' (English version is entitled 'World on the Wane'). In spite of this fact, the study tries to show that the opinions on the urban space delivered in this work are important for us to understand the basis of his method, as well as to get closer to the places where his thinking opens to the new perspectives of the anthropological studies. When analyzing these opinions, we find that on the one hand they confirm the primary trend of his method, which is the orientation towards unconscious models; on the other hand, however, we see the role of collective conscience in a new light. Similarly, we will have to correct the idea about the relation between structures and their demographic substance. In his work 'La Pensee sauvage' (The Savage Mind) Levi-Srauss presented this relationship as a conflict of two sides, from which the second one, the demographic substance always ends up predominating: it decomposes the structural organizations and leads the community to the historical time. Levi-Strauss' reflections about the city indicate that the demographical substance could have a different function in his thinking. Thanks to the concentration of a big amount of people, a city can in its organization of space display the unconscious trends of mind. The last part of the study aims to discover in Levi-Strauss' opinions on the South American cities the indication of what could be called the anthropology of present or even future times.

The starting point of the article is the assumption that the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud grows from a new conception of the subject and the self, different from the conception used by Kant. The author tries to make his point by analysing selected fragments of one of the first publications by Freud 'Entwurf einer Psychologie'. It is clear in that work that Freud already had at that time his own idea of the psychic apparatus, and that it consisted of three different systems: consciousness, pre-consciousness and unconsciousness. In this proposal the synthesising operation of consciousness, which is the home of the self, can be reduced to a specific 'defence activity' which protects the self from the loose process of shifting and condensing imagery (the original process) that occurs in the unconsciousness. This approach presupposes, first, new understanding, previously unknown to German idealism, of the subject that does not function as the ultimate foundation of all psychic processes but is engaged in interpreting the original process by rearranging its imagery in a loose and spontaneous manner. Secondly, the synthesising function of the self can no longer be explained as a process of reaffirming one's self-identity - which was presupposed in the Kantian concept of transcendental unity of apperception - but must be seen as a synthesising activity that occurs at the level of the original process by repeated efforts to select and repress its imagery

A power since ever belongs to the central topics of social thought. Sovereignty, military and economic rule, influence, wealth, fame are universally attractive. People want to possess the power but the power possesses the people: both individual and societal consciousness refers to the ratio; nonetheless, both power and erotic upsurge from the unconsciousness directing the culture, civilization and technique. Nietzsche´s “will to power” corresponds to the theories accentuating the interdependence of power and erotic. The mechanisms of power are gradually developing in the course of history by the progress of knowledge and social organization. Intellect, emotion, language, art – no fundamental values can elude neither the functions of the instruments of power nor the violence of power. Embodiment of power and erotic in human being therefore is the target of organizational efforts to control the individual and the society.

The paper takes as its starting point the category of the Other which has deeply marked the contemporary philosophy, although in very different ways. The red thread is the category of the Other in psychoanalysis, where already Freud spoke of the unconscious as “the other scene”, and Lacan emphatically proposed formulas like “the unconscious is the discourse of the Other”, “the desire is the desire of the Other” and spoke about women as “the Other sex”. The paper tries to provide some clarity in the various uses of this term in psychoanalysis. Finally one has to confront the fundamental antinomy that on the one hand the dimension of Otherness presents the basic terrain of all psychoanalytic concepts, and on the other hand the key thesis proposed by Lacan that “the Other doesn’t exist”. But if the Other doesn’t exist it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t produce effects, and this is the main difficulty in conceiving the Other. The paper tries to situate this problem in a wider philosophical context, reaching from the ancient atomism via Hegel to the contemporary philosophy.
