Freud's discovery of unconscious (Unbewusste) revealed the existence of thoughts and feelings not necessarily sustained by the subject's active consciousness: non-conscious mental states. Kierkegaard's pseudonyms, especially the aesthetic ones, are often described as being unaware of feelings and thoughts, on Kierkegaard's project this means that they are, in fact, unaware of themselves: but can one be unaware of oneself and of the active states that sustained one's consciousness? Considering that thinking and feeling are at the level of the subject's active consciousness, how do they occur without it? What kind of conscience does not sustain all feelings, thoughts, and representations? When Kierkegaard describes the aesthetic characters as unaware of themselves, is he presenting a psychology of the unconscious?
