True and false and good and bad in connection with cognition, affection, and volition

David Bakan

pp. 299-302

Abstract

I read Hunt's long review of a number of writings about human consciousness as indicating two things: First, these writings converge in maintaining that something lies behind the contents of human consciousness. This is exemplified by the citation from Wittgenstein: "It may be that what gives my thoughts their lustre on these occasions is a light shining on them from behind." Second, this something is not cognitive but affective. Hence, meaning is understood as "felt meaning."
