	The Ethical Unconscious in Anthropology as Described by Eli Siegel
		By Arnold Perey, Ph.D. "Do you think you have a case against yourself?" Eli Siegel asked me, in a discussion, at the first Aesthetic Realism Ethical Study Conference I attended, "Lots of thoughts of people are against themselves," he continued.
		Against the background of Freudianism and its influence, which makes the unconscious seem dark, forbidding, full of repressed wishes you wouldn't want to know, Eli Siegel shows that the deepest thing in man's unconscious is ethical: the world is in us, telling us to be fair to it.
		What humanity has groped toward unconsciously, Eli Siegel and Aesthetic Realism have put on a conscious footing: to like the world as a oneness of opposites; that is, aesthetically.
