The association and affection in passive synthesis through passive intentionality explained in the previous chapter serve as an introduction to the “phenomenology of the unconscious,” in which instinctive drive intentionality acts before active synthesis with self-awareness. The unconsciously acting instinctive drive intentionality is referred to as “primal affect,” as it unites various affects directed at the ego into specific instinctive goals. This drive intentionality, which refers to the survival instinct as a primal affect, is explained by the method of systematic “dismantling (abbauen)”—the phenomenological method based on the analysis of intentionality. An example of the application of this method is presented: How active kinesthesia in voluntary movements functions as passive kinesthesia in instinctive involuntary movements through reduction. Furthermore, it is conclusively shown that the living present through retention and protention explained in Chap. 4 is basically a flow of time that is experienced through the fulfillment of the instinct intentionality that arises between mother and child.
