The thesis advanced in this book is that feeling and cognition
actualize through a process that originates in older brain
formations and develops outward through limbic and cortical fields
through the self-concept and private space into (as) the world. An
iteration of this transition deposits acts, objects, feelings and
utterances. Value is a mode of conceptual feeling that depends on
the dominant phase in this transition: from desire through interest
to object worth. Among the topics covered are subjective time and
change, the epochal nature of objects and their temporal
extensibility and the evolution of value from inorganic matter into
organic form. The theory of microgenesis informs this work.
According to this theory, acts and objects evolve in milliseconds
through phases that replicate patterns in forebrain evolution. The
progression in the actualization of the mind/brain state is from
archaic to recent in brain formation, from unity to diversity, from
past to present and from mind to world. An account is given of the
diversity of felt experience avoiding the reductionist moves
characteristic of biological materialism and the inherent dualism
of psychoanalytic and related theories. This book is intended for
any reader interested in the psychology of the inner life and
philosophy of mind, including philosophers, psychologists,
psychiatrists and others with an interest in problems of value and
moral feeling.
