Forms of Absorbedness: The Role of Dream Analysis in the Early Works of Eugen Fink

In Vergegenwärtigung und Bild, his doctoral thesis published in 1930, Fink has worked out the idea of being absorbed in a world for elaborating the specificities of unreality. And the phenomenon of being absorbed in a world is most exemplarily effective in the case of dream. The phenomenon of dream opens up a theoretical horizon for questioning the reality of the factual world, by indicating the conceivability that the factual world we believe as real might turn out to be a dream for another real world. Thanks to the "epistemological argument", Fink thereby discloses a conceivable emigration from the pre-given world to another world, with the clue of dream. And this "transworld" movement is not only an arbitrary speculation like a round square, but transcendentally threatens the self-familiarity of man. We would like to put forward the idea that the faith in the world is relativized by the conceivable unreality of our pre-given world. In this work, we attempt to articulate the transcendental instability of world- belief. Since the subject of transworld movement is neither a man living in the pre-given world, for it quits the pre-given world, nor the transcendental subject in its purity, for it is still situated in a worldly context, we suggest the inquiry of transword movement to be a supplementary part...
