Abstract

We provide a phenomenological explanation of the particular function mental images play in the realization of enjoyment and their significance for human freedom on the basis of the idea, drawn from Sartre, that images are not things but rather a way consciousness behaves towards objects. The mental image’s matter, which consists of affectivity, knowledge, and kinaesthetic operations, allows imagination to conjure up an unreal item to satiate a desire. However, by foreshadowing enjoyment in the imaginary, the mental image urges consciousness toward a change in the world that would make that enjoyment real. This is accomplished through the development of tools, which rely on the ability to overcome not just a given situation but also courses of goal-oriented behaviour that have already been prepared by the environment. Through this creation, consciousness exerts its freedom within reality, and marks the world as meaningful.
实现想象
我们提供了一种现象学的解释,说明心理意象在享受的实现中所起的特殊作用,以及它们对人类自由的意义,这是基于萨特的观点,即意象不是事物,而是意识对客体的一种行为方式。心理意象的物质由情感、知识和动觉操作组成,使想象能够召唤出一个不真实的物体来满足欲望。然而,通过在想象中为享受埋下伏笔,心理意象促使人们意识到世界的变化,从而使这种享受成为现实。这是通过开发工具来实现的,这些工具不仅依赖于克服特定情况的能力,还依赖于环境已经准备好的目标导向行为过程。通过这种创造,意识在现实中发挥其自由,并将世界标记为有意义的。
