This book argues that a silent axis of the unconscious world rests largely undiscovered. It
recasts foundational concepts in the psychology of Freud Jung Carol Gilligan and R.D. Laing
as well as in cognitive science to highlight this hidden unconscious axis: primordial spaces
of diametric and concentric structures. The author generates fresh approaches to understanding
the philosophy of early Heidegger and Derrida with the idea of cross-cultural diametric and
concentric spaces fuelling a radical reinterpretation of early Heidegger's transcendental
project and challenging a postmodern consensus that reduces truths and experiences to mere
socially constructed playthings of culture. The book which also examines projected structures
in modernist art suggests a systematic refashioning of many Western assumptions but it is
more than a deconstruction. It also attempts to offer a new interplay between structures and
meaning as a spatial phenomenology. This significant expansion of the boundaries of human
subjectivity opens alternative pathways for imagining what it means to be human in order to
challenge the reduction of experience to instrumental reason.
