Abstract

The article considers the influence of consciousness on the brain and the cognitive unconscious. We summarize views of a number of psychologists, philosophers and linguists concerning cognition and consciousness. Basing on this analysis, we develop an ecological conception of consciousness. It implies that the system «consciousness - the unconscious - the brain» should also include individual's environment as the forth element.
