Heart and Self-Consciousness. Or how Feelings Make Part of Human Consciousness

Since Brentano it has been pointed out that conscience is intentional, so it is directed towards and object. This seems clear, given the intentionality of intelligence, and that consciousness is intellectual in nature. However, an author like Levinas has highlighted that consciousness shows a non-intentional element, and Wojtyła, in its turn, denies intentionality to consciousness as such, arguing that this trait pertains only to its acts of knowledge. From a Steinian concept of intentionality I study the non-intentional side of consciousness, trying to explain how can it be intellectual and non-intentional, and I suggest some kind of feeling entity might be responsible for this special characteristic.
