What is awareness? How is dreaming different from ordinary awareness? What does mathematics have to do with awareness? Are different kinds of awareness related? âœAwarenessâ is commonly spoken of as âœmind soul spirit consciousness the unconscious psyche imagination self and other. â The Phenomena of Awareness is a study of awareness as it is directly experienced. From the start Cecile T. Tougas engages the reader in reflective notice of awareness as it appears from moment to moment in a variety of ways. The book draws us in and asks us to focus on the flow of phenomena in living experience not as a theoretical construct nor an image nor a biochemical product but instead as phases moments or parts that cannot exist without one another. Tougas shows how these parts exist in mutual dependence as a continuum of awareness as the flow of lived time and how noticing time deepens psychological self-understanding and understanding of another. The Phenomena of Awareness is divided into four parts: â Seeking and Noticing Awareness â Observing and Understanding the Flow of Phenomena â Distinguishing Intentional Acts â Work in Progress Drawing on the work of E. Husserl G. Cantor and C. G. Jung this book is an original synthesis of phenomenology mathematics and psychology that explores awareness and the concept of âtransfinite numberâ. This book will be of interest to analytical psychologists philosophers mathematicians feminist scholars humanities teachers and students. Cecile T. Tougas teaches Latin at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics Durham. She taught philosophy at the University of Southern Maine and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. .
