Redefining Consciousness Through the Intentionality of Time: Expressing Identity in the Third Millennium

By Andrei Văduva and Razvan Calin

This book presents a revolutionary metaphysical framework that redefines consciousness through the intentionality of time, proposing that the subconscious operates via two distinct hemispheric systems that generate reason, meaning, and our fundamental relationship with reality.

Building upon Husserl's foundational concepts, this work introduces the "intentionality of time" as a central principle for understanding consciousness beyond traditional biological limitations. The book proposes a novel dual-hemispheric model of the subconscious, where one system serves immediate survival through logic and fear, while the other addresses long-term ontological purpose through love, memory, and meaning. Through philosophical arguments spanning classical thinkers like Kant, Husserl, Nietzsche, Cioran, and Jung, combined with contemporary neuroscience and trauma psychology, the work synthesizes traditional philosophical discourse with modern empirical insights. A particularly original contribution involves reinterpreting trauma, dementia, and psychosis not as mere disorders, but as revelatory windows into consciousness mechanisms that demonstrate how intentionality functions within and beyond the brain. The book develops the concept of synchronicity from this intentionality framework, arguing that these phenomena operate through subconscious principles that are both biologically defined and ontologically bound, ultimately constituting the intentionality of time that enables meaning, love, and memory through comprehensive philosophical rather than purely psychological explanations.

This book will be of interest to academics and graduate students in philosophy of mind, phenomenology, psychology, and interdisciplinary consciousness studies who are interested in comprehensive theoretical models that integrate multiple humanities and social science perspectives. Additionally, the work appeals to researchers in trauma psychology, neuroscience, and psychiatric studies who wish to explore alternative conceptual frameworks for understanding mental phenomena beyond traditional pathological models.
